This Morning host and fan-favourite Alison Hammond showed off a more slender figure and attributed her new look to a fitness regime she has undertaken.
Hosting the show on Friday 14 alongside Josie Gibson, the 49 year old presenter wore skinny jeans, a white blouse and a cropped jacket as she took part in a fitness segment of the show. Headed by the show's resident doctor, Dr Zoe,. the star took on an exercise that is aimed at strengthening the knees. Alison then admitted that she had been suffering from knee pain but has been improving her fitness with the use of weights.
The mum of one embarked on a weight-loss journey since 2020 following the tragic death of her mother. Since then she has removed sugar from her diet which has noticeably enabled her to lose weight. Speaking on Lorraine Kelly's podcast two years ago, Alison revealed that she had occasionally looked at herself in the mirror and noticed her curvaceous frame. She said at the time: "Sometimes I look at myself and go, 'Wow, I am a big girl'. But I like taking up a bit of space. I take a little bit of extra space in the world and I don't think I'm hurting anyone. "
She added: "We're all going to die eventually. I might die a little bit sooner, but I'm going to live my life to the fullest. And if I do die sooner, I'm going to have a fantastic life. I'm going to have a wonderful life. I'm 47 now, I don't know how long I'm going to go on for." Dermot O'Leary pulled out of hosting the ITV show on Friday and was replaced by Josie - and fans appeared to love the dynamic between the female duo. Making a dramatic entrance to the studio, the pair took on a Thelma & Louise inspired stunt, which came complete with a sports car.
Taking to X, one fan wrote: "Hilarious. Never boring when Alison and Josie are on. We need to see more of them and Dermot and Rylan." Another person said: "Love Alison Dermot Josie & Rylan. Makes me want to watch again." While a third penned: "Why can’t we always have Alison and Josie presenting. They’re the best and a great laugh." A fourth viewer wrote: "Like Josie and Alison together #ThisMorning."

But you [Josie] are my Louise to my Thelma, my partner in crime. Josie Gibson!" It wasn't that long ago Alison hinted that she had broken up with her toyboy lover David Putnam during a Q&A session on social media. When asked if she was happy, she told her followers that happiness came from within. This came on the back of David spending his birthday alone and the fact it had widely been reported that his mother didn't approve of the pair's 20 year age gap.
