Alice Beer walks off This Morning after adorable dog upstages her segment

Looks like Alice Beer should have thought twice about taking her adorable dog to work today after he proved very distracting during her segment.

Fluffy dog Stanley fell in love with host Ben Shephard during Alice's segment on al fresco dining - and the presenter couldn't stop playing with him either.

This led to Alice becoming increasingly frustrated as Stan got in the way of shots and Ben became distracted.

At the end of the segment, Alice decided to walk off to go and say hi to those queueing up for Loose Women.

But viewers had also fallen in love with Stan and flocked to Twitter to gush about him.
