Here, ThisMorningstar and mum-of-one Alison, 49, reveals more…
How was filming Smart TV?
It felt like going on a night out with my friends – amazing. It was lovely to meet new people, who were part of my team.
What was it like filming with Rob and Josh?
I’ve done their podcast [Parenting Hell] before,and I’ve seen them out and about, but we’ve since become good friends.
Who was your favourite guest on the series?
I liked having Mr Doctor Who on the show! David Tennant was brilliant. I enjoyed having Romesh [Ranganathan] there, he was lovely.
Rob and Josh frequently talked about you all being very ‘blue.’ Who was the worst for it?
Josh was the worst. He comes across as the innocent one but he is dangerous.
Who would be your dream guest?
I want my pal Josie Gibson to come on the show, she would be great.
You started on Big Brother, which this year made its return. Are there any other reality shows you’d like to do as well?
In terms of other shows, Rob and Josh always take the mick out of me that I have done every reality show. But I haven’t! I haven’t done Dancing On Ice or Survivor. So, there are a few I haven’t done. Or The Traitors, I do like that show! But I would like to go on as a traitor, I wouldn’t want to be a boring Faithful. I’d play the game.
