And for their next interview, where Dwayne was accompanied by Kevin Hart, Alison turned up in a wedding dress and comedian Kevin 'married' the pair.

As well as interviewing celebrities, Alison is often put into hilarious situations for the entertainment of viewers, and has done all sorts, from visiting Britain's spookiest home to presenting a weather segment on a floating map in Liverpool's docks - where she famously knocked a sailor into the water.
