Unimpressed Holly Willoughby slams James Locke over 'rude' comment to Alison Hammond

Holly Willoughby was not impressed after discovering James Locke's 'compliment' to Alison Hammond, branding him "rude".

Appearing on This Morning today alongside co-host Phillip Schofield today, the pair spoke to Alison Hammond about her time finding love on E4's Celebs Go Dating.

Asked what she had been looking for on the show, Alison said: "Someone to love me... I don't even have the time to look!"

"When I flirt with someone they think I'm joking," Alison explained. "With my job I easily build a rapport with someone so I find dating easy [but find serious dating difficult]."

Probed on what she was looking for in a man, she said: "I think someone who makes my heart sing and makes me giggle.

"He's buzzy and amazing, he's got a job, that would be nice," Alison continued. "He's kind, he can tell me about myself... can control me a bit."

However she warned that she didn't want anyone "too controlling" and didn't mind about tidiness because she was really tidy anyway.

Alison also spoke about her fear of kissing on camera because she was worried about embarrassing her 15-year-old son.

"I couldn't kiss on TV," she said, but teased: "Im not saying that I didn't have a snog."

The presenter said that she got on with most of the cast of Celebs Go Dating and described co-star James Locke as a "Greek god".

However she told Holly and Phil: "He said personality-wise, I was his perfect girl."

Holly was left shaking her head at that, exclaiming: "That's so rude!"

At the end of the interview, Alison called for any single men to get in touch and a laughing Phil pointed out that she'd given away the fact she hasn't found love on the show.

"I've given it away, haven't I?" Alison said awkwardly.
