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.

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.
