ALISON Hammond has defended herself after being accused of flashing “a Rolex watch” on This Morning.
A viewer claimed she wore a pricey timepiece, which cost from around £6,000 upwards, on the daytime programme on Monday amid the cost of living crisis.

But Alison, 48, took to Twitter after the show to respond and she cleared up any confusion.
The viewer penned: “I love watching @AlisonHammond but with the cost of living affecting us all, I find it uncomfortable seeing her wearing, what looks like a Rolex.”
Alison wrote back after the show: “I wish!!
“It’s actually a Micheal Kors Watch my late mum bought me and it cost her £185 of her hard earned money . It means more to me than any Rolex . Sorry you felt uncomfortable.”
The TV star is estimated to be worth anywhere in between £1 to £4million.
Alison’s mum Maria, who was from Guyana, sadly died in January 2020.

The Bake Off host also tragically lost her father Clifford who lived in Jamaica in June of that year.
She was in touch with her dad, but she was brought up single-handedly by her mother.
Alison posted a touching message on Instagram the day after her mum Maria’s funeral.
She wrote: “Today I dedicate Valentine’s Day to my beautiful , wonderful Mother Maria who passed away from liver and lung cancer.
“Yesterday my family and I celebrated her amazing life and laid her to rest in a beautiful ceremony she would have been proud of.
“Thank you mummy for giving me the strength to move forward in the knowledge that your ok and with God in Heaven now. I will always remember you and try and make you proud. I love you mum.”
Last year she shared a tribute to Maria.
She said: “Mummy Two years today you left me and the pain has never left my heart.
“I love and Miss you sooo much . I hear and feel you all the time . My Angel Maria.”
