She’s already one of the most well-loved presenters on our TV screens, and now fans are praising Alison Hammond even more for sharing her amazing weight loss.

Alison – who rose to fame on Big Brother in 2002 before becoming a regular fixture on ITV’s This Morning – shared an Instagram pic of herself looking glam and oozing confidence. Viewers of the show were quick to offer their support on social media, with one writing, “Wow, Alison really does look incredible!”

The presenter has candidly spoken about her struggles with weight in the past – once breaking down on air after admitting she had suffered with obesity all of her life. But her mother’s death in 2020 kick-started the star’s weight-loss journey, sharing “My poor body might not be able to cope for much longer, so I have to help it out by taking weight off.”

Back in July, Alison – who weighed 20st at her heaviest – shared how cutting out sugar helped shed the pounds.

And along with adjusting her diet, Alison has spoken about being more active – saying that she loves “lifting weights” – as well as gushing about her local Weight Watchers group, saying “I went to my local workshop and the rest is history.”

The star – who is said to be dating a mystery man – had a gastric band fitted in 2014 but had it removed after experiencing complications.
