The teacher then advised her to pretend there was an egg balancing on her head in a stern voice – to help with her posture and control.
The teacher then added: ‘Okay let’s just take it easy!’
Dermot also channeled his inner prima ballerina as he took the This Morning ballet lesson very seriously and hit the barre for a twirl.
A few fans on Twitter reacted to the funny moment as one said: ‘You just can’t stop @AlisonHammond pirouetting’, along with a crying laughing emoji.
Another said: ‘I loved the swan ballet dancers class just now! Bless them!’
It comes after it was revealed that Alison is set to front a new BBC entertainment series which will see her spend 48 hours with some of the UK’s best-loved celebrities.
The move to BBC comes just a month after the presenter was ‘snubbed’ by ITV bosses when Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard bagged the main This Morning gig.
The TV personality – continues to host This Morning on Fridays and as holiday cover alongside Dermot – will enter the homes of stars and give fans a glimpse into their glamorous lives in the new six-part series Alison Hammond’s Big Weekend.

Set to be filmed across the UK, Alison will be asking all the big questions in her unique and hilarious way – which has made the This Morning and Great British Bake Off star one of the country’s most loved personalities.
Alison said that during the series, which will hit BBC One and iPlayer in 2025, she will make sure to leave ‘no stone or cupboard unturned’ in her quest for celebrity gossip.
Of her new gig over on the rival BBC, Alison said: ‘I’m so excited to serve up some big lols and tons of OMG revelations on the BBC as I spend some quality time with some of the UK’s favourite celebrities.
‘When I’m on a mission no secret is safe, and trust me no stone or cupboard will go unturned!’

Kalpna Patel-Knight, head of entertainment at the BBC, added: ‘Alison is one of the most warm-hearted presenters in the UK and it’s no surprise that big name celebrities are lining up to have her spend the weekend at their homes. It’s going to be a blast!’
Mel Balac, creative director for entertainment at BBC Studios, said Alison is the perfect woman for the job because she ‘wears her heart on her sleeve’.
‘Her incredible openness, energy and warmth will shed new light on the celebrities she spends the weekend with,’ Mel added.
‘When Alison comes knocking it’s a special appointment you won’t want to miss!’
