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.

EXCLUSIVE Seven BBC women alerted bosses over Wynne Evans' conduct... So why did he tell TV's Cat and Ben: 'There have been no complaints about me. Ever'
The BBC received seven complaints from women over Wynne Evans ' conduct towards them, including one claim he made an inappropriate comment about a pregnant woman's breasts during a Zoom call. The Mail on Sunday's revelations come just days after opera singer Evans, axed from his BBC Wales breakfast radio show last month, protested on ITV 's This Morning that there had been no allegations made against him. He appeared on the show last Wednesday to tell hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: 'There has never been any complaints about me. Ever!' The MoS can instead disclose that BBC Wales staff raised the seven separate grievances between July 2023 and August 2024, including a period after Evans, 53, was approached to appear on last year's Strictly Come Dancing. Four of the complaints were made before he joined Strictly, raising questions over why the dance show's producers signed him up. Three more were made after he had been chosen for the show. A report into his behaviour was prepared in January for a disciplinary hearing which he said he could not attend, citing mental health issues. The Go Compare frontman's time on Strictly was mired in controversy. The Mail on Sunday told in January how he was filmed using the vile term 'spit roast' – a three-way sex act – to his co-star Jamie Borthwick in relation to professional dancer Janette Manrara during the launch of the Strictly Live Tour. He apologised and left the tour. Evans had earlier been caught up in a 'wandering hand' incident with his Strictly dance partner, Katya Jones. One source said of the BBC Wales complaints: 'Some of the comments he made were awful. 'Imagine making a comment about a pregnant woman's breasts. His behaviour left many women feeling uncomfortable.' A former colleague, who wants to remain anonymous for fears of career repercussions, told the MoS the complaints were well known among staff at the Welsh broadcaster but 'everyone was afraid to speak out' because Evans was seen as 'untouchable'. She said: 'That's why he got away with it for so long and why he will get away with it.' The woman revealed how the father-of-two's inappropriate behaviour 'built up over the years'. She said: 'At first, he was known as an idiot and a clown but it turned into something more sinister and tipped into being inappropriate and uncomfortable to be around and work with. 'These complaints are real. He is not just someone who has made a few rude jokes. There are women who have made complaints and he was warned time and time again and just kept going. 'The argument that he has of 'Oh, I'm just a product of my time. It's just a joke'... well, those times are gone and you can't act that way, especially if you have been warned about it.' A BBC spokesman said: 'We take any issues raised with us seriously and we have robust processes in place to deal with them.' A spokesman for Evans declined to comment.

I'm A Celebrity and comedy legend shares rare snap of ‘giant' son as they hang out with close pal Robbie Williams
A COMEDY legend and I'm A Celeb alum shared a rare snap of his 'giant' son while meeting up with pal Robbie Williams. The three men were all smiles as they stood posed for a photo together. 4 4 Tommy Cannon, 86, is best known for being part of comedy double act Cannon and Ball - alongside the late Bobby Ball. On Instagram, Tommy shared a photo of himself, Robbie Williams and his "giant" son, Luke. Tommy penned: "Posted about it already, but want to thank @robbiewilliams for an amazing night, honoured to call this man a good friend of mine, and was lovely to reminisce about the old times of comedy and what he was raised on. "A fantastic and lovely man, a true showman, let me know when you want me to sing 'My Way' with you Rob (yes that is my giant son)." While a third shared: "Love this bless so sweet xx." Tommy's legendary comedy career spans over five decades - with Cannon and Ball active from 1974 until Bobby's death in 2020. Their variety show, The Cannon and Ball Show, ran on ITV for nine years from 1979 to 1998. In 2005, Tommy and Bobby Ball both entered I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Bobby Ball's comedy partner Tommy Cannon tears up saying he'll 'never get over' his death as a 'big chunk of me is gone' However, Tommy was first to be eliminated - although the second person overall to leave camp after Elaine Lordan withdrew. Meanwhile, it's not the first time that th e comedy legend's drawn attention to Luke's towering height. Last year, the two posed together as Tommy asked Gary Barlow whether he could join "the giant son club". It followed the Take That singer's eldest child becoming an internet sensation from a viral family photo. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the 5ft 11 star joked: "@GaryBarlow can I join the giant son club?" While Luke, whose mum is Tommy's second wife Hazel, later took to the platform with a solo photo. He wrote: "This is overwhelming how much my tallness has taken! "Thank you for the follows and likes, guess being 6ft6 has its perks! Sorry dad @TheTommyCannon." He went on to share another shot with his famous father, writing: "Another picture to clarify how tall I actually am @TheTommyCannon #TallSonClub #CannonandTall." 4
