Alison Hammond’s response to a viewer who said her ‘Rolex’ made her feel uncomfortable was one of 2023’s greatest comebacks
Back when this happened we said it was a leading contender for comeback of the week but we were wrong. It was actually a leading contender for comeback of the year.
Continuing our look back on our favourite moments of 2023, it’s the great Alison Hammond, who was contacted by one particular viewer to say how much she loves watching her on This Morning. And if you can feel a ‘but’ coming on, you’d be absolutely right.
The problem, it turned out, was because it looked like she was wearing a ‘Rolex’ and in these troubled times it made them feel, well, not quite right.
And it prompted no end of replies, mostly along the lines of this.
What a ridiculous thing to say! She works hard and can do whatever she likes with her money. Personally, I don’t get to watch ‘This Morning’ as it’s on during my working hours.

This.
On tomorrow’s episode of This Morning: Alison Hammond wears sackcloth and ashes, no makeup or jewellery and no shoes. Better?

And this.
Possibly the most jealous and pointless post I’ll read this year

But why we’re really here is because of the response from the This Morning and Great British Bake Off presenter (and much else besides) herself.
Star tweeter of the week!
Check and Mate. Well done Alison on a very measured response to a ridiculous tweet.
