The conversation then turned to Prue's catwalk appearance during London Fashion Week last September.
The TV star ditched her colourful outfits and statement glasses and opted for a black skintight leather dress with red stitching and long latex gloves.
Prue was seen modelling the look for the designers Vin + Omi's 20th anniversary show.
The chef and broadcaster added a pop of red lipstick, plenty of dark eye makeup and rocked a spiky hairdo.
Joining the presenters on the sofa, Alison asked Prue's partner John what he thought of his wife wearing latex when she swapped the kitchen for the catwalk.
Retired fashion designer John replied: "Well I wanted the costume to go in our dressing up box," which left Alison in howling with laughter.
A stunned Alison said: "There's a dressing up box?!"
A red-faced Prue replied: "Now I'm actually blushing... honestly you can't take him anywhere."
Alison complimented her, saying: "Prue, you looked fabulous."
Prue Leith's Bold Fashion Statement at London Fashion Week
Prue revealed she met fashion designer Omi on a train and he later invited her to take part in the sustainable fashion show.
Who is Prue Leith's husband John Playfair?
Born in England, John Playfair is a retired English fashion designer.
The pair met in 2011 when Prue was 76 and he was 70.
Unlike his famous wife, John tends to live a quieter life away from the spotlight.
Meanwhile, Prue is a celebrity cook who is best known for being a judge on The Great British Bake Off since 2017.
When did they get married?
The happy couple got married in Scotland in 2016.
Speaking about her marriage, she told The Jonathan Ross Show: 'I had to get married in Scotland, because he refused to wear a kilt south of the border.
"I was determined, if I was going to get married this guy had to be in a kilt.
"So we went to Scotland where he was prepared to wear one. He won't wear one south of the border, he thinks it's naff. He's got a very good undercarriage."
The married couple lived a unconventional life together at first, as they both decided to live separately after they wed.
They waited until they bought their first house together in November 2020, before moving in together.
Prue's reasoning behind this was the fact they could have their "personal space" and then come together to enjoy "quality time together".
In an interview with The Telegraph, Prue expressed how happy she is with their decision to finally move in together, she says: "John calls our new home our 'retirement home'.
"We have to face the fact that we're going to live together for the very first time. It just feels like the right time now."
Do they have kids?
Prue has two kids from her previous marriage to South African author Rayne Kruger.
The pair were married for 28 years, from 1974 until his death in December 2002, aged 80.
Rayne fell ill with emphysema, which caused a lung infection.
The pair had a son named Daniel, who is now a Conservative MP, and also an adopted daughter Li-Da.
It's unknown if John had any previous marriages or children before Prue.
The couple have no children together.

Brit rising star becomes unexpected new frontrunner to play James Bond as race to be new 007 heats up
Industry insiders and bookmakers are taking serious notice of the new contender RACE GEARS UP Brit rising star becomes unexpected new frontrunner to play James Bond as race to be new 007 heats up A BRITISH rising star has become an unexpected new frontrunner to play James Bond as the race to be the new 007 heats up. Speculation over who will replace Daniel Craig in the iconic role has been heating up, and fans all have their own theories. 5 A British rising star has become an unexpected new frontrunner to play James Bond as the race to be the new 007 heats up Credit: Alamy 5 Aaron Pierre is emerging as a front runner for the iconic Bond role Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 The star is best known for his performances in The Underground Railroad and Rebel Ridge Credit: YouTube British actor Aaron Pierre, 31, is now emerging as a frontrunner for the iconic role. And industry insiders and bookmakers are taking serious notice of the new contender. Following a leak by industry insider Daniel Ritchman, it has been revealed Aaron is in talks for the role reported GBNews. Aaron is best known for his performances in The Underground Railroad, Rebel Ridge, and Disney's upcoming Mufasa: The Lion King. And rising betting odds are putting the young actor firmly in the frame for the coveted spot. Bookmakers now have Aaron gaining ground, as his odds narrow to place him alongside all the familiar contenders. Currently, Theo James leads the pack with odds of 5/2 followed by Henry Cavill at 3/1 and Jack Lowden at 4/1. While, Aaron Taylor‑Johnson, a huge favourite, has fallen to 5/1. Aaron, 34, fuelled rumours he'd bagged the role after signing a deal with Omega - the brand of watch the 007 spy wears. Omega has been supplying timepieces to the iconic literary and movie character since the release of 1995 flick, Golden Eye. For Your Eyes Only, Official Trailer The Sun told last year how Aaron had been offered the job - with insiders saying at the time Eon Productions were keen to snap him up. Despite that, still at the top is fellow Brit hunk Theo who fans are convinced will lead the race to victory. Meanwhile, Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy is a current favourite to be named as the next 007 baddie. It's also been confirmed that Bond will still be a British man despite being sold to 'woke' Hollywood streaming site Amazon. Timeline of James Bond actors Over the years there have been seven actors who have played 007. The first ever James Bond film was in 1962, and this is who has played the lead role over the years: Sean Connery - The late star was the first ever actor to play Bond, and reprised the role for seven movies. George Lazenby - The star only played Bond once, but was the youngest actor to ever play the spy. Roger Moore - The late movie star spent 12 years making seven films in the famous franchise. Timothy Dalton - The smooth actor took over from Roger Moore and appeared in The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill. Pierce Brosnan - The handsome star played Bond for four movies from 1995 to 2002. Daniel Craig - The British star was the first blonde James Bond and the sixth actor to win the role in 2005. Before giving up ownership of the popular film franchise, 007's stewards Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson insisted the spy would retain his nationality and gender. Barbara, who took over the Bond brand from company Eon Productions alongside Mr Wilson in 1995, made the arrangement before she agreed to sell the rights to Amazon in a £770million deal. Insiders have hit back at fears the streaming giant - owned by Jeff Bezos - will turn Bond 'woke'. An insider told the Mail on Sunday: 'Amazon is committed to keeping the spirit of Bond alive and that means he has to be British or from the Commonwealth - and he has to be male.' 5 Aaron Taylor-Johnson is thought to already have agreed to the Bond role Credit: Getty

LIVE-ING MY DREAM Inside Dua Lipa's 'dream' Wembley shows with five outfit changes, star fans and cover with 90s music megastar Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DUA LIPA realised a life dream as she played to 70,000 adoring fans at Wembley Stadium. Her Radical Optimism tour's sell-out gig on Friday — followed by another one yesterday — came ten years after she first per-formed in the capital to just 350 people.

It is something I've dreamt of my whole life' Credit: Getty 11 Dua paraded in five different outfits during her set Credit: Getty 11 Dua also got Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay on stage to join her in singing the Nineties jazz-funk band's hit Virtual Insanity Credit: Getty 11 Dua shared a letter from the Spice Girls, who sent her flowers Credit: Instagram The singer said: 'Wembley, thank you. It is something I've dreamt of my whole life, and all day I have been feeling so much love and gratitude to be here with you guys. 'It is just surreal. It feels like such a journey, but also like everything has happened so quickly. I want to thank you for believing in me and trusting me, dancing with me, singing with me — and allowing me to wake up every single morning to do what I love to do. Looking out and seeing all you guys means the absolute world to me.' Dazzling in a white Valentino sheer lace catsuit, she added: 'It has been ten years since our first London show and I just dreamt of a night like this.' Dua paraded in five different outfits during her set — also including a petrol-blue Balenciaga slip dress draped in a faux-fur coat lined with the Union Jack flag and a silver custom Swarovski bodysuit with matching Christian Louboutin boots. And it certainly seemed Queen Dua was reigning over North London — as billboards promoting her YSL plumping lip gloss were plastered on the famous Wembley Way. Fans, many of whom got tickets through Priority from O2, queued at merch-andise stands with T-shirts priced £40. She opened with hit track Training Season and thrilled the crowd with No1 singles New Rules, One Kiss and Dance The Night. Her ballad Falling Forever cast a spell as fans lit up the stadium by holding their phone torches in the air. Dua's mum Anesa and sister Rina, as well as actor fiance Callum Turner and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were all in the audience. She even had support from the Spice Girls who sent her flowers. Dua Lipa surprises fans by bringing 90s band on stage as she stuns in diamonte bodysuit in front of star-studded crowd to Wembley And Dua shared a letter from the girls on Instagram. The post read: 'Dear Dua, we just wanted to wish you lots of luck with your sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium . . . that's Girl Power! We love you! The Spice Girls. XXXX.' Dua also got Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay on stage to join her in singing his band's 1996 hit, Virtual Insanity. She told fans: 'This next song is a really, really big dream for me because I want to introduce someone who has inspired me from the moment I started making music. 'He is someone who has been a trailblazer for British music and paved the way.' I imagine these Dua shows have inspired the next gener-ation of British music stars, too. A FEW months ago, Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock parted ways with label Warner Music and landed a new deal with Virgin – and she's wasted no time getting started with new music. The singer shot a video for upcoming single, Been A Minute, in Stoke Newington, East London, last week. An insider tells me: 'The song has a carnival vibe and Leigh-Anne is really excited about it.' Leigh-Anne will showcase the tune when she performs at Reading and Leeds Festivals later this year. OASIS STRING 'EM UP OASIS have spent weeks rehearsing in a secret location in London ahead of their reunion tour – and I can reveal that when the lads hit the stage they will be joined by an orchestra. As well as Liam and Noel Gallagher, Bonehead, Gem Archer and Andy Bell, there will be musicians playing the cello, violins and woodwind for several of their hits. 11 Oasis have spent weeks rehearsing in a secret location in London ahead of their reunion tour Credit: PA An insider said: 'The live orchestra will add a cinematic element to their sound and elevate some of the harmonies. It won't take away from the band, just boost the sound.' I can also reveal that everyone around them has ditched booze and turned to clean living in a bid to spur on the brothers, inset below, as they prepare for their Live '25 shows. Cigarettes and alcohol have been binned in favour of non-alcoholic beers and meditation. An insider tells me: 'In these final few weeks before the tour kicks off, those around Liam and Noel have decided to focus on clean living. 'There are lots of positive vibes in the camp, a very meditative, focused mindset. Everyone around them is aware this is history in the making. 'Liam and Noel are the best of British, working class heroes, and they deserve this incredible moment. 'So those around them are determined to set positive examples and make sure everyone is giving 100 per cent. It's pretty impressive to see how dedicated everyone is.' Some Might Say they will be the gigs of the decade . . . MEL C says she is super 'pedantic' about pre-show rituals. Sporty Spice told England rugby star Natasha Hunt that she sticks to the same routine while on tour. Mel said: 'I get the mickey taken out of me because of how pedantic I am about my preparations. I will eat well, try and sleep well, hydration is key.' She spoke as part of Volvic's Force of Nature initiative, in partnership with the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025. Sporty by name, sporty by nature. LIKE THE LUNCH BOX, PAUL PAUL MESCAL and girlfriend Gracie Abrams have been preparing for her gig at Glasto next week – with sunshine picnics in the park. The Normal People actor and the singer have been relaxing with friends before she rocks up at Worthy Farm to play The Other Stage on Friday – where Paul is expected to be cheering her on. 11 Paul Mescal and girlfriend Gracie Adams in the park Credit: Supplied 11 Gracie will play The Other Stage on Friday Credit: Mega One park-goer at Highbury Fields in North London said of the pair: 'Paul and Gracie have been making the most of the warm weather by hanging out with friends in the park. 'Paul was boun-ding around and is clearly loving the long summer evenings.' The couple were first linked a year ago when snapped on a dinner date at London celebrity hang-out the BRAT Restaurant – and they seem to be going strong. Our source added: 'They looked super loved-up and Paul couldn't resist taking a picture of the sunset on his phone to capture the moment.' DUFFY TO RETURN DUFFY is secretly working on her long-awaited third album just months after she thrilled fans by appearing in a TikTok video. I can reveal that the Welsh singer, who posted herself lip-syncing to a remix of her hit Mercy back in March, has been in the studio working with ex-Suede musician Bernard Butler, who was a producer on her debut 2008 album. 11 Duffy is secretly working on her long-awaited third album just months after she thrilled fans by appearing in a TikTok video Credit: Getty Duffy, whose first name is Aimée Anne, disappeared from the spotlight in 2011 after being kidnapped and raped and told her harrowing story in 2020. A source said: 'The time is right for her to make a comeback, she has done enough healing and is ready to make music. 'She has a great working relationship with Bernard and they trust each other.' In 2020, Duffy revealed in a social media post: ' I am OK and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days. Of course I survived. 'The recovery took time. But I can tell you, in the last decade the thousands and thousands of days I committed to wanting to feel the sunshine in my heart again, the sun does now shine.' STRICTLY star Carlos Gu says he would love to perform with chat king Graham Norton. The pro dancer, who has previously been paired with EastEnders' Molly Rainford, said at the British LGBT Awards: 'I want to show two men can dance sexily and beautifully. I would love to dance with Graham. He would be great.'
