Sharon Marshall Loses Voice on ‘This Morning’ Due to Illness, Prompting Concern from Alison Hammond
Television presenter Alison Hammond, on ITV’s This Morning, requested the “first aid kit” for her colleague Sharon Marshall, who was rendered speechless live on air due to a seasonal ailment. The incident unfolded as Sharon Marshall, a regular contributor to the show, struggled to deliver her segment, clearly affected by a persistent cough.
Concern for Sharon Marshall On-Air
Hosts Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond expressed their worry for Sharon as she visibly battled a cough while attempting to introduce her scheduled segment. Despite her efforts to proceed undeterred, Marshall, 53, found herself unable to speak clearly, apologising to viewers, “So sorry my voice has completely gone,” before reassuringly adding, “It’s hay fever, don’t worry.”
On-Set Reaction and Soap Opera Updates
Demonstrating concern, Hammond inquired of O’Leary, “Have you got the first aid kit?” to which he promptly responded, “We’ve got a lot of stuff.” Hammond then suggested offering Marshall mints for relief. O’Leary also offered sympathy, stating, “Don’t worry Shazza, I feel weak myself, dosed up to the nines.”
Hammond further proposed, “Maybe we should do it instead [the soap update], she can just chill, maybe massage her feet, she needs a bit of love.” O’Leary, doubtful of their capability to take over, remarked, “We don’t know what we’re doing, we’d be all over the show,” leading Hammond to agree, “Very true.”
Recovering, Marshall resumed her position to deliver the latest updates on unfolding storylines in the world of soap operas. She began with developments in Emmerdale, where recent episodes have seen heightened tension.

Emmerdale Drama: Caleb Miligan’s Ordeal
Emmerdale viewers were recently left in suspense as Caleb Miligan, played by William Ash, fought for his life following a shocking scheme involving organ theft orchestrated by Joe Tate, portrayed by Ned Porteous. The dramatic scenes depicted a wounded Caleb on an operating table after being stabbed, with Dr. Crowley, played by James Hillier, urgently attempting to save him during a transplant procedure.
Footage shown on This Morning highlighted Caleb’s growing suspicion of Joe’s deceitful actions after discovering kidney medication. Hammond questioned, “Is Caleb going to work it out?” prompting Marshall to respond, “Oh what a coincidence, you’re on the same kidney medication as me?”
EastEnders Exit and Celebrity Big Brother Prediction
Moving on to EastEnders, Marshall addressed the upcoming departure of Sonia Jackson, played by Natalie Cassidy, who is set to leave the BBC soap opera. Adding to the drama, a recent episode featured the unexpected arrival of Sonia’s father at her doorstep.
The exit storyline involves both Sonia Jackson and her on-screen sister Bianca Jackson, played by Patsy Palmer, with their final scenes anticipated in the coming weeks. Addressing Bianca’s departure, Marshall commented, “Of course Bianca had to go, to get in the Celebrity Big Brother House.”
Offering a prediction for the reality show, the soap expert concluded, “Can I say Jack P Shepherd for the win?” Hammond noted, “He keeps getting voted for eviction doesn’t he?” Marshall explained, “I think that’s because he’s not playing a game and not getting involved. We are seeing the real him now and he’s a really funny guy.”
This Morning broadcasts on weekdays on ITV1, commencing at 10am.
