Alison Hammond gets hot under the collar as she is taken for a spin by Formula One driver David Coulthard in Monaco.
In her new ITV show In at the Rich End: The Riviera, Alison travels to one of the most expensive places to live on the planet to sample eye-watering opulence first hand.
And in a teaser for the upcoming programme, the This Morning star, 47, gets very flirty with David, 51, as they go on a drive in his classic convertible Mercedes through the rolling hills.

During the drive, he tells her: ‘I first came here in 1995, in my first year of proper earning in Formula One.
‘There is no question of trying to maximise one’s earning potential, because in those days if you had a 10-year career then that was considered a long time in Formula One.
‘As a sportsperson you’re washed up after a decade…The weather is something that makes me feel good, I think I suffer from SAD syndrome. I need light at home if you and I were on a date, all the lights are on.’

Getting on well: ‘I need light at home if you and I were on a date, all the lights are on’, David cheekily said, prompting Alison to blush
Alison cheekily responds: ‘Even in the bedroom?’
To which David replies: ‘I need to see you’, with Alison adding: ‘I look sexy with mood lighting!’
The show starts with Alison arriving in a helicopter at an exclusive billionaire’s villa in St Tropez.
She says of her mission: ‘Does money ultimately fulfil you inside? Having cars, having yachts, having all these houses, does it make you happier?’
The villa has been designed around a Jeff Koons sculpture, which is worth a staggering €30million euros and comes with a private chef and butler.
The fine art collection inside has a higher value than the stunning villa itself.

Alison is stunned by her private tour and decides she fits right in, but with a rental tag of €135,000 a week in high season, it’s more often frequented by footballers looking to relax.
Alison’s next date is at a glamorous St Tropez beach club with former Playboy playmate and multi-millionaire Victoria Silvstedt.
The beach club is a favourite hangout of the A-list, where a single bottle of champagne can cost up to £250,000.
As they enjoy a gossip together, Victoria admits: ‘I said when I earned my first million, I’m going to stop, but then it becomes a drug and you just want more and more. That’s how we are made.’

No trip to the Riviera would be complete without experiencing the world of super yachts and Alison heads to Nice, thrilled to sample some of the best boats on offer.
After trying some Caviar on deck, Alison does her best to find out from the staff who the yacht’s current celebrity owner is.
Later, Alison is left speechless when she realises that a couple of second-hand handbags can cost more than a flat in Birmingham, after visiting a shop selling rare vintage designer handbags, which it transpires carry huge investment potential.
Finally, she checks into Cannes’ famous Hotel Martinez, to find out whether the hotel manager’s determination to keep his guests happy extends to a bath filled with Terry’s chocolate oranges.
She then makes her way to the red carpet at the Gala Finale of the world-famous Cannes Film Festival.
Alison Hammond In at the Rich End: The Riviera is on Friday 23 December at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
