Paddy McGuinness tells Alison Hammond to stop "following him" during ITV's This Morning

Paddy McGuinness urges Alison Hammond to stop "following him" as they appear on This Morning. The Top Gear star was on the ITV show with Alison and Dermot O'Leary on Friday,March 31, during which they discussed The Great British Bake Off.

Paddy initially appeared on the show to discuss his new Channel 4 show, Tempting Fortune reports Birmingham Live. Speaking to Alison, Paddy said: "Can I just say as well, while we're here, The Great British Bake Off - well done."

He then cheekily urged Alison to stop following him and find her own gigs. Paddy continued: "I'm on ITV, you're on ITV. I go to the Beeb, you come to the Beeb. I do Channel 4, you're there."

He then pointed to Alison and jokingly said "Stop following me!" Alison replied: "It's because I love ya. It's because I love you."

However, then The Take Me Out star fumed: "Get your own gigs Hammond! Sick of giving you a leg up in the business."

This came after Alison was named as Matt Lucas' successor on the Great British Bake Off. The mum-of-one rose to fame as a contestant on the third series of Big Brother in 2002, and joined This Morning in the same year.

Alison currently presents the weekday daytime show with O'Leary on Friday mornings and has also appeared in multiple reality shows including I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Coach Trip, Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity MasterChef.
