Alison Hammond laughs as she compares ITV Emmerdale's Meena to Girls Aloud star on This Morning

Alison Hammond gave herself and This Morning viewers a giggle when she compared Emmerdale's Meena Jutla to a Girls Aloud star.

The presenter and her co-host Dermot O'Leary were back on the ITV daytime show on Tuesday.

And as usual they were joined by soap queen Sharon Marshall for the latest Emmerdale, Coronation Street, EastEnders, and Hollyoaks spoilers.

Sharon kicked off her segment with Emmerdale following Monday's night episode which saw Meena take Dawn Taylor away in the back of a limo following her wedding to Billy Fletcher.

The soap writer revealed that she wasn't able to share a clip from tonight's episode (Tuesday) but shared a look at what happened on-screen in Emmerdale on Monday.

She repeated what had already been confirmed in spoilers that Meena will take Dawn and Billy to the edge of a viaduct and demand Billy choose to save his own life or that of his new wife.

What Sharon was able to show, however, was a picture of Meena, played by Paige Sandhu, brandishing a gun while dressed like chauffeur in an all-black outfit and cap.

Alison, 47, laughed as she saw the photo and said: "Ooh, it's Cheryl Cole!"

As the group laughed Cheryl's hit Fight For This Love played out into the This Morning studio leading Alison to have a little dance.

Alison then reiterated her point while looking closely at the screen featuring Meena's picture: "t does look like Cheryl Cole."

Sharon said: "Do you know what, we always get the character singing.

"That's all I'm going to be able to think of tonight. It's pretty much, 'you've got to fight for your life'."

But an Emmerdale fans spotted the spoiler picture last night and tweeted: "Why does Meena look like she is about to join Cheryl Cole on Fight For This Love. #Meena #Emmerdale."
