Alison Hammond fought back the tears as the This Morning crew ambushed her at home on Wednesday for a birthday surprise.

Hosts Ben Shephard, 50, and Cat Deeley, 48, sent Jeff Brazier, 45, to the telly star’s pad in Birmingham  to celebrate her 50th milestone. 

When Jeff arrived at Alison’s home, she wiped a tear from her eye and said: ‘Welcome to the Hammonds’, everybody!

‘I’m on the fifth floor and it’s alright up here, isn’t it Ben!’

Ben said: ‘Al, you got to embrace it, it’s a new decade, a new outlook, things shift but you still got that gorgeous smile and that energy, which is magic.’

She was then told by Cat and Ben that she had to put a blindfold on and wait for her present.

Alison confessed: ‘I’m emotional guys, I’m emotional.’

‘Look there they all are, right around the corner… That was them there, getting out of the mini bus, Alison doesn’t have a clue that they’re there.’ 

Alison was over the moon with her present, but was very aware of what the people next door to her might think. 

As she cheered the guys on, she joked: ‘It’s not that sort of neighborhood!’
