Alison Hammond has promised to undress, but only for a good cause.
The 49-year-old host of The Great British Bake Off has joked about getting her baps out, literally, for a future episode of The Calendar Girls.
Members of the Women’s Institute, who initially bared everything for a charity calendar in 1998, appeared on Friday’s This Morning to commemorate their 25th anniversary.
The first calendar included ladies covering themselves with domestic things like as teapots and pianos, and it raised almost £5 million for charity.
During their interview on This Morning, the women discussed capturing the photos and not showing their husbands the images until the day of the unveiling.
They also spoke proudly about the influence they’ve made on the charity Blood Cancer UK, reducing the number of child fatalities thanks to funds raised.
‘We have to keep going, everyone has to keep going,’ they urged, but all shook their heads when Dermot O’Leary asked if they’d be prepared to do a second calendar.
Alison however, was definitely up for it, especially if it were to raise £6million saying: ‘Yeah, I’d get involved in that one, I’d get my baps out for that!’
She then joked she’d be holding flowers to cover her modesty, picking some up from the table and laughing: ‘Actually, they’re not big enough!’
In 2003, Helen Mirren and Julie Walters starred in the film adaptation of The Calendar Girls.
This follows Alison’s cheeky statement on This Morning, in which she claimed that she enjoys being granted a seat on the London Underground, presuming it is because people assume she is pregnant.
Talking about Gary Lineker, 63, being offended that people thought he was old because he was offered a seat on the Tube, leaving other passengers laughing, Alison told her co-host Dermot O’Leary: ‘Oh yeah, absolutely, everyone thinks I’m pregnant and I just go yeah, I’ll sit down, I’ll take the seat any day.’
After Tim Campbell insisted it was because people are ‘besotted’ with her, she added: ‘Do you reckon? Oh I’ll take that seat.’
‘And I’ll sit down, and then a pregnant woman stands up!’ she joked, leaving Dermot laughing.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1.
