Overview

• During a post-break dance to Chesney Hawkes’ The One and Only, Alison Hammond accidentally trod on Dermot O’Leary’s foot, prompting him to shout in pain.
• O’Leary bent over clutching his foot and joked on air that the moment was “unforgivable,” describing her wedge heel as “sharp.”
• Hammond immediately checked on him and repeatedly apologised, joking that she had “put on a bit of timber” over the summer.
• The duo quickly resumed the programme, with no further injury details or official comment from ITV reported.
• Friday’s episode brought the pair back together after summer cover by guest hosts, continuing a Friday presenting run that began in 2021.
