'I nearly killed the cameraman!' The smile was firmly wiped off Alison Hammond's face during a live TV segment on This Morning after a hammer throwing task went awry on Monday
Anticipation: The star, 42, was limbering up to take part in the traditional Scottish sport during a Highland Games segment and seemed nervous before she stepped up to the mark, saying, 'Let's do this, oh my gosh everyone's watching'
And it seems the trepidation Alison felt before throwing the heavy object may have been justified as when she let go of the hammer after spinning in circles, it flew dangerously close to a filming cameraman, just missing his head.
A clearly panicked Alison, who was seen grinning at the throw seconds before, then let out an audible gasp before she rushed over and said: 'You ok, are you ok? I nearly killed the camera man! Are you ok?'
Fans of the former Big Brother contestant were quick to share their amused reactions on Twitter and rally round Alison.

It isn't the first calamity the star has encountered during her TV duties.
In April she left Phillip Schofield in stitches after screaming her way through an RNLI lifeboat launch.
And in June she tripped over a pink inflatable flamingo in the This Morning studio and was seen laughing as she tried to get get back up.
