The pair were joined by Juliet Sear as she showed off her delicious treats in the kitchen.

As Dermot tucked into one of the cupcakes, he asked: “Why have I made such an a*** of this?”

He continued: “Why can’t I get the cupcake out of the thing?”

Juliet replied: “That’s a special cup. It’s a different type of cupcake one.”

Earlier this month Alison was forced to apologise after a guest swore live on air.

The TV star quickly stepped in when showbiz expert Andrew Freund made the blunder while chatting via video link from Los Angeles.

Andrew been explaining the controversy surrounding Beyonce’s latest album Cowboy Carter, which had been printed on vinyl and CD without five tracks featured on the digital version.

The correspondent had begun: “Alright guys, the beehive is buzzing and they’re buzzing big time!”

But he soon got carried away, adding: “They got their vinyl and not all the tracks were on their vinyl, so they’re a little bit p***ed off about that.

“Basically, what happened was on the streaming you get all of the tracks and when you pre-order the vinyl it was missing five.”

Dermot fell face into his hand in embarrassment before Alison apologised.

Alison said: “We can’t miss an apology for Andrew’s very colourful language, so we do apologise for that.

“It’s morning television, passions are high and obviously Beyonce is missing vinyl tracks, what is going on?

“Not happy about it.”

Dermot added: “That was the greatest apology I’ve ever heard.”
