ITV This Morning fans in stitches at Dermot's King Charles impression

This Morning fans were left in stitches during Thursday's episode as Dermot O'Leary did an "uncanny" impression of King Charles III.

He and Alison Hammond were once again at the helm of the daytime programme, as regular hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are taking a Christmas break. As the show got underway, Alison was surprised with a best presenting award from Entertainment Daily.

She won best loved presenter, beating Ant and Dec, who won the National Television Award in the same category earlier this year, which Alison was also nominated for.

Then the discussion turned to the King's honours, as this week Coronation Street's William Roache has collected his OBE as the longest-serving soap star in the world. The actor, 90, who holds the world record for the longest-serving TV actor in a continuous role as Ken Barlow, was awarded the honour by King Charles.

Alison shared the news, to which Dermot replied: "I thought he already had about five". Alison said: "He should have a knighthood, do you not think?"

Impersonating His Majesty, Dermot said: "King Charles said 'Working still are you?' to which Bill said 'yes I've just had two ex girlfriends on the show'".

Fans were loving the impression. Taking to Twitter, Mariam said: "More King Charles impressions please Dermot", while Emma said: "Uncanny that, @radioleary" and Leigh said: "That's hilarious, can you do Camilla?"
