Alison Hammond made a very personal sex confession on This Morning, as she admitted: “Every time I eat chocolate, I want it.” The popular TV presenter, 48, left co-host Dermot O'Leary desperately trying to suppress a laugh after her frank admission.The pair were discussing foods being aphrodisiacs with Dr Karan Raj during Friday’s show, 20 October, when Alison decided to share the sweet treat that got her hot under the collar. Alison - who was said to be the early favourite to become the main This Morning presenter after Holly Willoughby decided to quit the ITV show - asked Dr Karan: “Is chocolate an aphrodisiac?” The doctor, conscious he was on a daytime show, diplomatically answered: “So scientifically there is no evidence linking chocolate to your ability to perform horizontal bedroom wrestling to the best of your abilities.” Alison, looking deadly serious, replied: “That’s really interesting because every time I eat chocolate, I want it.” The confession left a gobsmacked Dermot stifling a snicker before Dr Karan offered: “Well, caffeine is a stimulant?” Po-faced Alison nodded before moving on and saying: ‘Well that was a great item, wasn’t it? Dermot responded: “I’ve learnt as much about you as I have about medical science.” Elsewhere on Friday’s This Morning, Alison was left crying with laughter after Dermot exposed her false claims about making a selfless donation to charity.
