On April Fools' Day, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary pranked viewers of This Morning by having an actress, Vanessa, claim she found a vase worth £30k at a car boot sale. The vase was precariously placed on a thin pedestal and after a discussion about its rarity, Dermot accidentally knocked it off, breaking it into pieces. This prank led to a backlash from viewers who accused Hammond of "dreadful acting."
