A Glamorous Reveal at the London Palladium
Alison Hammond, beloved TV presenter and national treasure, stunned fans and photographers alike as she stepped out at the Robin Hood press night at the London Palladium. Dressed in a sleek leopard-print dress with slimming black panels, Alison, 49, exuded confidence and joy, beaming as she posed for photos. With a hand-on-hip pose and her signature radiant smile, she showcased her 11 stone weight loss, drawing admiration and applause from all directions.
The leopard-print ensemble was paired tastefully with gold hoop earrings and comfortable brown trainers, striking a perfect balance between glamour and ease. Alison completed her look with her hair braided and a full face of makeup that highlighted her natural beauty.
A Health Journey Fueled by Determination
Alison’s transformation has been the result of a dedicated lifestyle change rather than quick fixes. Earlier this month, the This Morning presenter opened up about her journey, revealing that she opted not to use popular weight-loss medications such as Ozempic. Instead, she transformed her routine through consistent exercise and diet adjustments.
A Turning Point: Pre-Diabetes Diagnosis
Her motivation came from a serious health wake-up call. After learning she was pre-diabetic, Alison decided she needed to take action. Her late mother, Maria, had Type 2 diabetes, which made the diagnosis even more poignant.
“For me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened,” Alison shared. “So I haven’t wanted to use [weight-loss jabs], but that’s not to say I wouldn’t in the future, and I certainly wouldn’t look down on anyone who did.”
The Workout Routine That Changed Her Life
With the help of a personal trainer, Alison began working out twice a week, introducing variety into her regimen with walking, stretching, yoga, and light weights at home. Her focus has been not only on appearance but on how good it makes her feel.
“After a session at the gym, I think I’m Venus Williams, with all those endorphins pumping around,” she said with a laugh. “If I miss a session or two with my trainer, I notice it. That kick you get out of the way you feel is so good.”
She told Good Housekeeping magazine that these consistent efforts, combined with diet changes, helped her reverse her pre-diabetic condition.
Freedom Through Wellness
Although she now allows herself a little more flexibility with her diet, Alison notes that she continues to be mindful of what she eats.
“I’m no longer pre-diabetic — so I’m a bit naughtier with my food now,” she admitted. “But because my body’s working properly, I can allow myself a bit of sugar here and there.”
She added with pride: “I love my new shape and although I still have areas I’m conscious of, such as my arms and my tummy, it’s great being able to wear things I would never have been able to before. I mean, look at me, I’m a bombshell.”
Inspired by Family and Health
Her mother’s battle with diabetes weighed heavily on Alison’s decision to transform her health. “My mum had type 2 diabetes and she was worried for me,” she said. “So when I then found out that I was pre-diabetic, that was frightening. I thought ‘I have to be an adult about this’. The sweets had to stop – and the fatty foods.”
This honesty and transparency have made Alison even more relatable to fans who admire not just her transformation, but her commitment to doing it the healthy way.
A New Chapter: Love and Happiness
A Romance That Defies Age Gaps
Alison’s dazzling new look is just one part of a broader story — that of a woman entering a happy and fulfilling new chapter. The presenter recently confirmed she is in a relationship with David Putnam, a 27-year-old masseuse. Their romance raised eyebrows due to their 22-year age gap, but Alison has shrugged off the criticism with grace and humour.
“I can see how, on paper, you’d notice the age difference,” she told Good Housekeeping. “But honestly, when we see the word ‘toyboy’ written about us, it bears no relation to what we have at all. Yes, I’m 22 years older than he is, but if you saw us together, you’d understand. People have said to me, ‘We get it now.’”
Her Son’s Approval
One of the most heartwarming aspects of Alison’s new relationship is the fact that her 19-year-old son has given it his blessing. In a candid revelation, she shared how important it was to her that he felt comfortable with her new partner, and he has shown full support.
Finding Joy in Life Again
