Alison Hammond on Celebrity Gogglebox

Last night’s edition of Celebrity Gogglebox kicked off by showing Alison and her sister, Sandra, berating son Aiden for not taking his hayfever tablets.

“Can you believe he’s not had his tablets? That’s why he’s sneezing all the time,” the This Morning star grumbled, before letting out a big sneeze herself.

The show saw the celebs watching Squid Game season 3, the BBC’s coverage of Glastonbury, the new Netflix documentary Trainwreck: Poop Cruise and Bridge of Lies.

Among the celebs on last night’s show were Strictly‘s Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke, Jennifer Saunders and her daughter Beattie, Rylan Clark and mum Linda, Roman and Martin Kemp and Fearne Cotton and Georgia Tennant.

Other celebs included Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates, Jordan Banjo and Perrie Kiely, Jonathan Ross and Krishnan Guru-Murthy, to name a few.

‘Way to ruin a programme’

Fans of the show took to Twitter to complain about Alison appearing on the show last night.

“Is there anything that Alison Hammond hasn’t been on yet?” one viewer fumed.

“I think Alison Hammond is trying to complete TV like a computer game. She’s on EVERYTHING!! And now we need her son on everything too apparently,” another moaned.

“What a way to ruin a programme yet again having Alison Hammond on it,” a third wrote.

“No soaps on tonight. I thought that the one thing I could count on was #Gogglebox. Well #CelebrityGogglebox at least. But no, now I’ve found at that chuffing Alison “look at me” Hammond has highjacked the show and now that’s ruined it for me! I can’t cope with that fake laugh,” another added.

‘Fabulous addition’

However, not everyone was complaining. “Fabulous addition,” one wrote of Alison’s involvement on social media.

“Yes! The family we’ve been waiting for on Gogglebox,” another gushed.

“Oh my gosh! This is overdue,” a third wrote.
