This Morning's Alison Hammond experienced an embarrassing moment during Friday's episode when she accidentally botched one of the guests names on the ITV programme. As the broadcast commenced, the hosts excitedly informed their audience that they would be chatting with Hollywood A-listers Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Billy Bob Thornton and Ali Larter about their upcoming series Landman.
