Several viewers have taken to social media to send their best messages to Alison, with one writing on X: "I hope we get an update regarding Alison soon as that was really worrying to watch. Hopefully she's okay."
"Hope Alison is ok and its nothing more than a bit unwell," added another viewer, while a third wrote: "I hope Alison is okay. It sounded like she was either throwing up or having a panic attack. Hope she gets well soon."
These sentiments were echoed by another fan, who remarked: "Awww so we’ve gotten the confirmation from Dermot that Alison was not feeling well . Praying that it’s nothing serious."
Alison, who also co-hosts The Great British Bake Off, recently discussed her relationship with David Putman, with the presenter sharing they had no immediate plans to tie the knot.
