In a segment on ITV’s This Morning, Alison Hammond was praised over her For The Love of Dogs role by her co-star and the show’s resident veterinarian, Dr. Scott Miller.
The conversation unfolded following Dr. Scott’s segment on today’s show. The Australian vetenarian appeared to answer viewer’s pet-related queries.
Alison Hammond was announced as the new host for the fan-favourite show earlier this year. The presenter took over the role from the late Paul O’Grady after his passing in March 2023.
Dr. Scott praises Alison Hammond
As his segment drew to a close, Dr. Scott took the opportunity to praise his This Morning co-star.
“And can I just say, Alison, you did so well with For The Love of Dogs. And I know the series just finished but congratulations, well done,” he complimented enthusiastically on the air.
Grateful for the acknowledgment, Alison responded: “Thank you! Thank you so much!”
The lighthearted moment continued with Alison’s co-host, Dermot O’Leary, chiming in with a joke about the next series. “He wants in on the next series,” Dermot teased.
“Well, if you need a vet then I’m available,” Dr. Scott joked, addressing the new series of the show.
Despite the support and praise from her colleague, the response from viewers was less supportive.
Fans react
Social media reactions were mixed, with some viewers vocally expressing their disagreement with Dr. Scott’s praise.
“He was definitely told to say that, because the concensus is she was [bleep],” one viewer tweeted.
Another dissatisfied viewer suggested: “Should have Dr. Scott presenting it.”
Meanwhile, another comment read: “Fake praise for Alison.”
“Alison’s got the role for many jobs, not sure how,” someone else mused.
