The former I'm a Celebrity campmate had a chit chat with the Allerton Oak, an oak tree in Calderstones Park in Liverpool which is currently nominated for European Tree of the Year. It is thought to be an incredible 1000 years old, but Alison took the daunting task of chatting to such an old interviewee in her stride. Speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield in the studio, she said: "Let's go and interview the tree. I've never done this before. I've interviewed Hollywood superstars, but never a tree."

Speaking to the tree, she asked: "Obviously you are up for this amazing, prestigious title. How does it feel to be nominated for The European Tree of the Year?" 'Tree whisperer' Holly Worton replied: "It feels very exciting. It's an honour to be recognised in this way." Alison then asked if the other trees get jealous, to which Holly replied: "No, because this is a community, and the more people that come to see me will come to see them as well."
