Rebel Wilson dazzles ITV This Morning viewers over changed look as she makes Prince Harry and Meghan joke

This Morning viewers couldn't help but comment as Rebel Wilson dazzled them on the show.

The film star and comedian appeared on the ITV daytime programme on Thursday in a pre-recorded interview with Alison Hammond.

The Friday This Morning host had headed to see Rebel at her plush hotel on International Women's Day on Tuesday (March 8).

The segment, named 'Part two of when Alison met Rebel', saw Alison, 45, chat to the Bridesmaids star, 42, about awards as she's set to host the BAFTA's this weekend.

Speaking about heading up the event, Rebel said: "It's hard when you're the host because like you're in charge of the whole show and you have the whole responsibility. So I don't know whether they were wise asking me.

"I want to be a good host and I want everybody to have a good time because we've got massive stars coming like Lady Gaga, Benedict Cumberbatch..."

Alison then asked Rebel if she had ever felt a BAFTA award, before presenting her one to hold, commenting: "Feel the weight of it, isn't it heavy?" to which Rebel replied: "Wow this is amazing!"

She then added: "They are heavy and like I've got some muscles," she said as she flexed her left arm to prove her point.

And This Morning viewers were soon commenting on Rebel's changed appearance on Twitter as she donned an abstract fitted dress with her bouncy blonde tresses styled in bouncy waves.

"For a sec, I doubted that was Rebel Wilson. She looks so good #ThisMorning," @BlackBarbyy tweeted.

@kouganray said: "Love Rebel, she looks great! So does Alison #ThisMorning."

"Omg Rebel Wilson looks amazing #thismorning," @missohlola shared.

@TraylorHolmes commented: "Rebel Wilson looks great. You go girl #ThisMorning."

Rebel also managed to make a cheeky joke about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who swapped life in the royal family in the UK for a separate life with their young family in Calafornia.

As they shared a clip of West Side Story, which is nominated for a number of BAFTAs at this year's ceremony, Alison sang along to the lyrics of the film's track America.

"Meghan and Harry's new theme song," Rebel quipped as Alison laughed at her comment.
