Birthday Bust-Up! Alison Hammond Ruffles Feathers with 'Shameful' Birthday Arrest Comment

Scandal erupted on the 'This Morning' set when TV darling Alison Hammond made a shocking quip that's got the Twitterverse in an uproar. The ITV presenter seemed to sympathize with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, questioning why the former prince's collar was felt by the fuzz on his 66th birthday no less! With Thames Valley Police confirming the arrest at his Sandringham digs for suspected misconduct, viewers choked on their cornflakes as Hammond mused, 'They could've done it yesterday, the day before his birthday.' The gaffe sent social media into a tizzy, with tweeters labeling her take as 'shameful' and calling for her tele eviction. Despite her co-host squad – Dermot O'Leary, Nick Ferrari, and Sonia Sodha – trying to chew over the day's sensational headlines, it was Hammond's birthday blues that stole the show. As the uproar ensues, the PM reaffirms, 'Nobody is above the law,' while Andrew bunkers down in his Sandringham retreat. And with nine police forces itching to probe connections to Jeffrey Epstein, it seems no one's getting a birthday pass. As for Hammond, the jury's out on the court of public opinion, and her reps are on the case!
