This Morning's Alison Hammond shares rare photos of her son Aidan 💕
Cuuuuute
This Morning’s Alison Hammond has treated fans to a rare glimpse of her son Aidan, who she’s been a single mum to since he was a baby. Taking to her Instagram, Alison shared some adorable pictures of her and her teenaged son.
Sharing a photo of the two of them smiling lovingly at each other alongside a throwback to when Aidan was a baby, Alison wrote: 'My world 🌍 Aidan'.
Her famous friends and followers were loving the sweet snap, with her This Morning colleage Ruth Langsford writing: 'Unconditional LOVE right there ❤️❤️' and Holly Willoughby adding: 'Awwww ❤️'.
'Lovely mother and son bond always special 💙💙💙' said a fan, while one more wrote: 'Aidan's grown into a lovely young man 😍.'
Cuuuuute.
Alison’s star has been on the rise since earlier this year when she was confirmed to be taking over Friday’s episode of This Morning from long-term hosts Ruth and Eamonn Holmes.
She was joined on the sofa by X Factor host Dermot O’Leary, and despite some vowing to boycott the Friday show following the changes, quickly proved to be a success with ratings increasing 44% from the previous year.
While Alison’s son likes to stay off her social media for the most part, in April last year she delighted fans when she posted an accidental glimpse of Aidan on TikTok.
The This Morning presenter was filming herself performing a dance routine in her kitchen when the 14 year old accidentally gatecrashed the video and looked shocked at his mum’s moves, causing her to burst into a fit of laughter.
Check out Alison Hammond's funniest This Morning moments:
The time she nearly got arrested in Italy
During a stint in Pisa, home to the leaning tower, when she was announcing one of This Morning's mega prize draws, Alison and the crew were intercepted by Italian police for filming without a permit. But despite the firm hand of the law, Alison continued with her piece to camera, and seemed to find the whole thing hilarious. To be fair, so did we.
The time she photobombed the Oscars
It doesn't get much better than being flown out to LA as the This Morning correspondent for the Oscars, does it? But when the coverage aired the next morning, Phil had stern words for Alison, who brazenly photobombed one of the the official sponsor's red carpet coverage.
The time she married The Rock
Alison fans will have followed her enduring love affair with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson after they became engaged during an interview. When she next met him during the promo for Jumanji, they tied the knot (100% for real) and were ordained by Dwayne's co-star Kevin Hart, naturally.
The time she got dumped by The Rock
But as with many celebrity couples' the love affair wasn't to last, and just months later we saw Alison at the height of her heartbreak after she was unceremoniously dumped. She even ripped all his posters off the wall. We did the same, hun.
The time on the weather map
She may have earned her stripes as a killer celebrity correspondent, but in 2018 Alison was given the opportunity to try her hand at presenting the weather. Speaking from a floating weather map of the UK, hilarity ensued when Alison made the jump from Scotland to Northern Ireland and ended up accidentally pushing a scantily clad weather assistant into the river. We weren't really sure what they were doing there in the first place tbh.
The time she made Hugh Jackman's childhood dream come true
Alison has made plenty of famous friends during her career, but it's clear she stole Hugh Jackman aka Wolverine's heart when she fulfilled his childhood dream of getting into the official Guinness Book of World Records. She invited along the editor to present his award, and even had a troupe of can-can dancers to help them celebrate.
Those times in the kitchen
Despite being on our dream dinner party guest list, Alison's not exactly a natural in the kitchen, and there's loads of hilarious footage to prove it. Like the time she dropped her 'pancake cereal' all over the floor within seconds of going live via video link. Or the time she forgot to add eggs to her brownie mixture. Or the time she emptied a colander of water all over her hand. We could go on...
The time she interviewed a tree
It's not just the A-List Alison's got her claws into, you know. After a 1,000 year old tree in Calderstones Park in Liverpool was named 2020's Tree of the Year (well deserved, if you ask us) Alison was sent along with a tree whisperer to get the oakey oldie's thoughts on the prestigious title. Riveting stuff.
The time she wasn't a leprechaun whisperer :(
On the subject of whisperers, in 2019 Alison was sent to the Northern Irish border to meet Ireland's last Leprechaun Whisperer, a lovely man called Kevin, who claimed the Leprechauns were concerned about the impeding 'hard Brexit'. But despite Kevin's best efforts, Alison wasn't able to communicate with them herself, which was awkward, but also funny AF.
The time she got pissed with Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford
Alison isn't much of a drinker, but we can never forget the time an interview with Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling ahead of Blade Runner 2049 descended into chaos when all three of them got the giggles so hard they struggled to breathe, let alone answer any questions and the interview went viral worldwide. Top points to Alison.
