Alison apologised for the interruption, which took place when Sun legend Deidre Sanders was speaking, saying: "I'm so sorry everybody, I'm so sorry."

Once they had said goodbye to the caller, the 47-year-old star added: "Apologies for my phone going off, I do apologise."

One viewer tweeted: "You’d think Alison would know to turn her phone off by now…how long she being doing live TV?"

Another laughed: "Alison’s phone ringing is a complete Alisonism."

A third joked, referring to the competition where callers have to say a password: "Alison should have styled it out and answered the phone with a spin to win phrase."

She said: "I had my daughter seven weeks ago and I'm at the point where I don't want anyone coming over, family-wise.

"I just don't think I'm adjusting - I tried to reach out to my midwife but I've since been discharged and haven't heard anything."

Deidre told her: "You sound to me like you're rather post-natally depressed" and advised her of some places she could get help.
