Holly Willoughby seemed to challenge the ’empowering’ rumors about Alison Hammond on a Thursday show of This Morning.

Before this, body language expert Darren Stanton had made some very important claims about Holly’s return to the show after a long break over the summer.

Darren noticed Holly’s body language and said, “When the pair were standing up and speaking to the camera, Alison had her hands down to her front, while Holly had her hands to the side as well as touching her fingers.”

“Alison is quite animated, she comes across as super confident, but when Holly sits next to her on the sofa as they present as a duo, we see Holly tilting herself away to the left. This suggests she finds Alison’s presence a bit overpowering. It’s a way of saying, ‘This is too much for me.’”

But on Thursday’s episode of This Morning, the hosts were full of life and laughter as they burst out laughing during the Spin to Win prize part. They kept their playful attitude throughout the show.

At the end of the Spin to Win part, 48-year-old Alison complained that she had a hair stuck in her mouth, which made Holly lean over and help her.

Then, when the game was over, they turned to Kate Lawler for the competition. During this time, Kate said, “Hello, you delightful joker!” in a funny way. In answer, Alison found it very funny and started laughing so hard that Holly almost lost her balance.

Then Holly couldn’t stop laughing as she was almost knocked over.

It comes after Alison gave a mysterious sex confession on Loose Women Live earlier this week, in which she seemed to hint that she has a new secret boyfriend.
