Dermot O'Leary not impressed as This Morning guest makes brutal dig at him

Dermot O'Leary did not look impressed during Thursday's This Morning as one guest made a rather brutal dig at him.

Dermot and his co-host Alison Hammond invited Nick Ferrari and Gyles Brandreth onto the show to discuss the latest headlines, but Dermot appeared to be unusually quiet.

As the foursome spoke about foreign holidays being under threat due to the traffic light system, radio presenter Nick was keen to have his say.

"Why can't someone in this country of a certain level with double vaccinations go to another country where there is a similar sort of level?" he said.

"And I'm just thinking Giles, and everyone else, Alison... and the other fella," Nick continued as Alison burst out laughing.

Dermot had a grin on his face, but didn't seem overly impressed at Nick's quip.

"I was just checking he's there, he's been so quiet! He's never been this quiet, I thought he was having a tea break!" Nick added, as Alison's loud laugh could be heard in the background.

Getting back to the point, Nick said: "I'm just thinking that if we don't do this, there are millions of jobs that are reliant in Britain on the airlines, on the travel business, and that is what you have to think of."

Moments later when Dermot spoke, Nick made another comment about him actually being there and speaking up.

Dermot and Alison have been hosting the ITV show all week due to it being half term.

Earlier this week, Dermot was involved in a rather heated debate with another This Morning guest during a conversation about the vaccine.

The 48-year-old presenter was discussing the effectiveness of the jab with Beverley Turner when the pair became embroiled in a feisty debate.

TV and radio presenter Bev, 47, was adamant that the injection wasn't effective and commented that younger people should reject the jab.

She claimed: "It does not stop you catching or passing on the virus."

But Dermot fired back sternly: "It does."

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
