Molly Qerim replacement Christine Williamson tells First Take guest she looks 'like Christmas' with

FIRST Take guest Kimberley A. Martin has been told she looks like Christmas in a glamorous appearance on the show.

And even Stephen A. Smith was forced to admit she looked "dazzling" on Wednesday's show.

Martin joined First Take for the second hour of Wednesday's show having earlier appeared on Get Up.

She came to set in a dark green dress and took her spot next to Louis Riddick and Smith.

Christine Williamson stepped in to host once again with Molly Qerim still absent.

She introduced her show guest by saying: "Kimberley A. Martin is here looking like Christmas."

Smith, meanwhile, agreed: "I have to admit you do look dazzling today. The green is working."

Kimberley had a playful jab at Stephen A.'s bright costume on the show earlier this summer.

Smith came to set in an all-yellow suit and was told he looked like sorbet.

Martin said: "I've seen you wear some hot yellow stuff on set, I didn't say nothing."

Stephen A. was back in the studio for a Mad Dog Wednesday for the first time in weeks.

He'd appeared virtually and was on vacation for large parts of the summer.

Last week, Chris Russo sparked fears that Smith had walked away from First Take.

He claimed a "new era has begun" without Smith, but that claim was shot down by host Qerim.

Smith was reunited with Russo and even had a laugh at him during a debate on Wednesday.
