ITV This Morning labelled 'telly gold' as Alison Hammond told off for not listening

Alison Hammond was left scolded by a guest on St Patrick's Day as she repeated a question and 'wasn't listening' to him.

To mark St Patrick’s Day Alison and her This Morning co-host, Dermot O’Leary, interviewed Kevin Woods, the 'world's last leprechaun whisperer', on the show, on Thursday, March 17.

Kevin had brought a leprechaun in a small bag to the ITV studios. On the show, Kevin was holding the bag tightly as it was moving about under his grip, reports the Mirror.

The ‘leprechaun whisperer’ promised there was a leprechaun inside and set Dermot and Alison a task of helping to contain him if he was to open the bag so everyone at home could see the leprechaun for themselves.

As they continued to chat on the morning show, Demort and Alison asked Kevin how many leprechauns were still around. He shared that many had died.

Kevin first said they were around 200 left, however, Alision asked again just a few minutes later. Kevin then said: "I told you a minute ago, you're not listening," as she broke into laughter.

"You were exactly the same in Ireland and now you've shown up in your pyjamas," he added as both Alison and Dermot laughed.

As the interview continued they had managed to get the bag open, however, there was no leprechaun inside it. There was just a set of the leprechaun's clothes with a top hat and a mini shovel to dig for gold.

Whilst he was still missing, Kevin eventually managed to catch him and get him back in the bag. The presenting duo was left in hysterics as Kevin launched himself at them with his jacket to trap the leprechaun.

Viewers took to social media to say the interview was "telly gold".

"Kevin the Leprechaun Whisperer on #ThisMorning absolute telly gold! It proper made me laugh," one fan said.

Another fan added: "The Leprechaun whisperer was funny, be more Kevin everyone! #ThisMorning @AlisonHammond @radioleary."

A third viewer shared: " @AlisonHammond & @radioleary I'm not sure what I've just listened to but omg hilarious, I now believe in leprechaun's Alison your laughter is contagious, brilliant #ThisMorning."

" #ThisMorning funniest interview I've ever seen with a 'real' #leprechaun escaping onto the sofa next to @AlisonHammond," a fourth added.

Another viewer wrote: "The Leprechaun whisperer was hilarious. Everyone should be more Kevin #ThisMorning."
