This Morning’s Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary gobsmacked as man reveals he’s been held hostage at home by a SEAGULL

THIS Morning’s Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary were left gobsmacked after a man revealed he’s been held hostage in his home by a SEAGULL.

Martin Green from Devon opened up about the bizarre situation on Friday morning's instalment of the ITV show.

He recently tried to fix up his garden, but the bird has made it clear he's not happy with him being outside.

Unfortunately the seagull has taken a disliking to Martin.

Martin told Alison and Dermot: "He doesn’t bother my wife in the slightest. But she is very sort of Yorkshire.

"On one occasion he looked down and sort of fixed her as if he was about to launch himself and she just drew herself up to her full five feet tall, looked at the seagull and said ‘don’t you dare’.

"The seagull gave an apologetic cherp, ruffled his feathers, and went back down again."

Alison asked: “Martin can you not just do the same thing?”

“I tried that, and he blew blood,” Martin replied. 

Viewers couldn't believe the story.

One wrote on Twitter: "Held hostage by a seagull" and a laughing emoji.

A second joked: "Who else wants him to go out in the garden so we can see what the seagull will do."
