Alison Hammond was forced to confirm that she is no longer single after Dermot O’Leary let it slip while they were hosting Monday’s edition of This Morning.

During the live ITV daytime show, O’Leary, 49, turned to Hammond, 47, and said: “You’re not available anymore, but if you were, jeez what a catch!”

Playing coy, she replied: “What do you mean I’m not available? I’m available!”

After a bit of playful back and forth between them, she finally confirmed it was true and jokingly told O’Leary off for “telling the world”.

“I have got somebody guys, I’m off the market, I’m so sorry guys!” the Brummie-born star beamed.

If anyone missed it, the This Morning Twitter account helped spread the word further by sharing a clip of the moment.

“Do you know something we don’t Dermot?” they captioned the post, followed by a big eyes emojis.

Viewers were delighted for the bubbly presenter and were quick to reply with well-wishes.

“So so happy for you,” wrote one. “You look absolutely great, he’s a very lucky chappy.”

“Love suits you,” remarked a second, with a third commening: “Now we know why you’re glowing???”

While a third declared: “That’s it everyone is going to be trying to find Alison’s man.”

Hammond is generally quite guarded when it comes to her private life.

Her most recent known boyfriend was security guard Jamie Savage, who she met through a dating site.

They got engaged in 2014 before calling time on the romance in 2017.

Prior to that, the Big Brother alum was married to Manchester cab driver Noureddine Boufaied, with whom she shares son Aiden, 17.
