Telly’s Alison Hammond has left morning commuters stunned as fans spotted the celeb at Paddington station this morning (15 June) – dressed as a ticket inspector.
But all is not quite as it seems.
Dolled up in a sparkling red sequin jacket and matching hat, the This Morning presenter could be seen handing out secret envelopes to lucky commuters – shouting “Hey babe, come and get your points!“.
The envelopes contain points to help people save money on future train travel with Virgin Trains Ticketing, as well as unlocking hundreds of rewards, with Alison announcing that she is working as their ‘Chief Points Inspector’ for the day.
