This Morning descended into chaos on Friday as the cooking segment took a dramatic turn – with host Josie Gibson getting shoved out the way.
Chef Rustie Lee joined Josie, 39, and Dermot O’Leary 51, in the studio to show viewers at home how to make a Baked Alaska.
As she set to work in making the classic recipe, she explained how it was ‘so easy’ and ‘so retro’, with Dermot agreeing calling it a ‘very nostalgic’ dessert.
Rustie had viewers in hysterics from the very beginning as she showed viewers how demanding live TV can be as she accidentally ran out of time.
As her cooking section went on, Rustie started to speed up her demonstration, telling viewers she was being told to ‘Move along!’
She then exclaimed that her ice cream – the centre piece that fits on top of the sponge – had melted.

With under three minutes left of the show, she showed the last part of the process – covering the top with cream – and exclaimed: ‘Help me, we’ve only got a couple of minutes!’
As she started slathering the meringue mixture on top of the ice cream, Josie tried to pitch in and gently spooned around the sides.
However, when Rustie reached for the blow torch to caramelise the meringue, she pushed Josie back and dramatically announced: ‘Step aside!’
Immediately trying to calm the situation down, Dermot stepped in reassuring Rustie: ‘Don’t worry, we’ve got time.’
As he finished spooning the mixture on and Rustie blow torched around the sides, to create a dramatic, golden brown look, Josie hid behind her co-hosts back and pretended to cower in fear.
As they presented the finished product, Josie couldn’t contain her laughter and Rustie jokingly screamed and shouted: ‘Step back!’
With 15 seconds to spare, Dermot ran up to the resident photographer with a plate of previously prepared Baked Alaska and breathlessly said: ‘Stop the clock!’
Also on Friday’s show, Alison Hammond made an unexpected cameo, disrupting Kate Lawler’s competition segment.

The TV presenter, 49, appeared on screen in her full costume from her role in the Peter Pan pantomime, at Birmingham’s Hippodrome Theatre.
During the segment, Kate asked Alison about her favourite part of performing in panto, and the ITV star shared a heartfelt story about her late mother.
Alison said: ‘Do you remember last year when lovely Dermot (O’Leary) and the whole team brought me a wonderful chair with the plaque of my mum’s name on it?
‘It’s dead centre in the middle of the stage and literally, it’s like I’m performing to my mum. It means the world to me, it’s beautiful. It’s lovely to be back.’
She explained the emotional connection further, adding: ‘I look at the person (in the seat), the person thinks I’m looking at them, I’m not! I’m seeing my mum!’
Alison’s mother Maria died in January 2020 from lung and liver cancer, months before her father Clifford also died.
Last year she broke down into floods of tears as she was surprised with a seat named in her honour at her hometown theatre while filming the This Morning Christmas Day special.
