Pleading for a “sick day” earlier in the show and referring to The Larkins as The Darling Buds of May, Alison replied: “Is it The Darling Buds of May or is it The Larkins?
“It’s The Larkins, sweetheart.”
Putting his head in his hands, an embarrassed Dermot replied: “I thought it was called The Darling Buds of May.
“My apologies. Send the NTA back!”
The blunder followed Dermot confessing that he felt delicate after attending the National Television Awards the previous evening and joining his co-stars on stage the accept the best daytime series gong.

Alluding to a raucous time, Dermot added: “I think I speak for all of us when I say, ‘I don’t want to go to school today mum.'”
Asked if he attended the NTAs after party, he later sheepishly added: “We went for a little bit, yeah.”
He later confirmed the party with his This Morning co-stars had been in “full swing”.
