ALISON Hammond's Big Brother pal admitted that the This Morning star kept her Russian toyboy secret from even her closest friends.
The 49-year-old is currently dating a Russian masseuse that's 20 years younger than her.
Earlier this week The Sun revealed Alison and David met after she booked £150 massage sessions with him.
After sparks flew, the pair got into a relationship, despite their age gap.
Kate Lawler, a friend of Alison admitted that she had no idea about the union.

After Heat Magazine asked Kate asked about Alison's new beau, she said: "I didn't know she had one! I'll have to message her about this."
Alison starred on Big Brother together back in 2022 alongside Kate who won the show.
The pair have remained close friends throughout the years which is why Kate being unaware came as a surprise.
Earlier this month, David and Alison were spotted during a romantic day out at the zoo.
The star beamed as she walked with her arm around her 6ft 10in man while they made their way around Port Lympne Zoo in Kent.
David's pal previously said: “David is a very quiet, unassuming and thoughtful person who likes to play the guitar.
“He’s the strong, silent type, not a pushover, but not chatty like Alison.
“In that sense they’re perfect for each other and to David age is just a number. “He’s not bothered by fame, he probably didn’t even know who Alison was when they first met."
A source also told The Sun: "Alison has never been happier. She has had a turbulent love-life, but is finally confident she has found a trusted companion."
