ITV This Morning fans 'not prepared' as show descends into 'carnage' with Alison and Dermot

This Morning viewers said they were 'not prepared' as they tuned into the last episode of the week.

Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Friday.

It is Alison's second appearance on the show this week after filling in for Phillip Schofield at the last minute earlier this week

There were also celebrations in the studio as the former Big Brother star let every know it is her birthday weekend.

Alison turns 47 on Saturday, February 5, and wanted to get the party started on the ITV show.

"So where's the cake?" the nearly birthday girl asked moments into This Morning starting.

"Alright, calm it," Dermot jokingly hit back. "We know it's your birthday...

"Listen, let me take control for a second, it's a special day for Alison."

"I'm joking, I'm joking," Alison tried to resist but it was too late.

Dermot emerged with a Baileys-themed cake as Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday rang out through the studio and confetti rained down on the hosting duo.

It all got a bit chaotic on This Morning (ITV)

"Thank you so much, can I eat it now?" Alison asked as Dermot replied: "Yeah, you can stick your head right in there!

"It's got Baileys buttercream," he confirmed.

"Well we might as well have bit of a tipple now, start the show off as we mean to go one," Alison said as she opened a mini bottle of the Irish cream liqueur.

She then struggled to cut the cake and as she put a slice on her plate, more crumbled from the once perfect celebration treat.

But This Morning viewers couldn't get enough.
