TM: Alison tells Martin to keep his 'cuddles' after remark Alison Hammond was left gobsmacked on This Morning when Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert, delivered a sharp jibe at her expense. The beloved 49-year-old presenter was in the midst of welcoming Martin to the show when he joked he was deliberately avoiding the studio to steer clear of her. Alison, taken aback by his blunt remark, retorted: "That's not very nice.
" Tensions rose as fellow presenter Joel Dommett, 39, squirmed uncomfortably, unsure of how to handle the situation. Realising he may have gone too far, Martin, who is no stranger to the show or Alison, seemed to acknowledge his misstep. In an attempt to make amends, Martin extended an offer of a "cuddle" to his colleague.
However, Alison, feeling slighted, sharply responded: "You can keep your cuddles after that." Despite the initial sting, the atmosphere lightened and Alison, ever the professional, brushed off the incident as the segment wrapped up. She playfully warned Martin: "I will be giving you a hug when I next see you, whether you like it or not," reports the Mirror .
