This Morning turns 'awkward' after Alison compliments Holly

Holly Willoughby was left in fits of laughter after an "awkward" moment on Tuesday's instalment of ITV's This Morning.

With Phillip Schofield still away from the show after testing positive for coronavirus, Alison Hammond stepped in to co-host.

Taking to Instagram before the show began, Alison claimed she was "honoured" to be working alongside the "queen".

During the show, Alison complimented Holly over her outfit choice.

Holly was wearing a red jumper, which Alison said made her look "happy".

Alison said: "I'm looking at you today and I just think 'happiness', look at her"

Holly replied: "You don't need colour to do that... Little Miss Sunshine".

The two laughed before falling silent for a second.

Alison then jumped in with "...anyway, is it me next?" before adding "I love an awkward pause, don't you just love an awkward pause?"

Holly couldn't help but erupt into giggles, hiding her face from the camera.

Viewers quickly commented on the moment.

Taking to Twitter, Belinda Green said: "I could watch Alison pause all day tbh. A Qween."
