This Morning viewers were left cringing on Tuesday when Lisa Snowdon slammed an item of clothing that Alison Hammond was wearing at the time.

Appearing for a fashion segment called The Ultimate Summer Trousers, Lisa, 52, sent viewers a warning about skinny jeans.

‘Stay away from the skinny jeans, who looks good in a skinny jean except for Elizabeth Hurley?’ the former model said.

But viewers cringed as Lisa made the comment, as host Alison, 49, was wearing a pair at that exact moment. 

‘Oh I do like a skinny jean!’ Alison responded, to which Lisa replied: ‘Yeah but it just shows lumps and bumps that aren’t there.’ 

In a moment that felt awkward for those watching, Alison asked: ‘Do you think?’

Viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to share why they felt the moment was uncomfortable. 

They wrote: ‘I only wear a skinny jean and then she says no one looks good in them thanks Lisa,’;

‘”Stay away from skinny jeans” whilst Alison is sat there wearing them,’;

‘”Nobody looks good in a skinny jean” erm isn’t Alison wearing skinny jeans Lis?’

It comes just one day after viewers branded another segment ‘painful to watch’ after Alison and Dermot O’Leary welcomed two experts who claimed that faking your own laugh can ‘cheer you up’ and help people become happier over time – with a technique called laughter yoga.

As the pair – who have taken over from the main hosts of the ITV1 daytime show during their seven-week summer break – discussed the odd technique, they proceeded to demonstrate a forced laugh on air.

The duo joined them in trying the ‘fake laughter’ method – but ended up cackling in hysterics, leaving viewers of the daytime show bewildered.

Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley are currently enjoying seven-week break from This Morning just four months after landing the job. 

The new hosts joined the ITV daytime show on March 11 and are said to be receiving  an annual salary of £555,000. 

Now they’re set to be away for nearly two months as part of the show’s annual summer break, which sees a rotation of guest presenters brought in to front the show in their absence.  

Friday favourites Alison and Dermot kicked off the summer shows on Monday, before a mix of familiar faces will return to the sofa.

Also stepping in to host will be Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle, Rylan Clark, Rochelle Humes and Joel Dommett, plus new mum Sian Welby also making her return to broadcasting since welcoming her baby daughter Ruby last month.

Ben and Cat return to ITV’s flagship daytime show on September 2, and Alison and Dermot return to fronting Fridays on September 6. 

This Morning’s editor, Martin Frizell, said of the summer lineup: ‘Viewers will not want to miss a moment this summer! 

‘The shows will be packed and whatever the weather, the team in front of the cameras and behind will deliver plenty of content to keep the nation smiling. 

‘I’m delighted Alison and Dermot are kicking things off and together with our brilliant family of hosts – made up of the biggest names in TV – they will be serving up really exciting content on Britain’s biggest daytime show.’
