This Morning's Alison Hammond revealed why her time on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! didn't live up to expectation.

The bubbly TV personality explained to her colleagues Dermot O'Leary, Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson and Gyles Brandreth.

As is tradition with the format, Hammond arrived at the midway point after many of the celebrities had already forged friendships, but this didn't serve her well going forward.
