Alison Hammond confirms shes dating special someone after Dermot spills news

Alison Hammond has confirmed that is dating someone new, after Dermot O’Leary let it slip as they co-hosted on ITV daytime show, This Morning.

The normal Friday morning presenters are covering on the regular daytime slots this week, as Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield are on holiday.

As Dermot, 49, and Alison, 47, engaged in their usual jovial chat, Dermot said: "You're not available anymore are you, but if you were, you'd be a catch", as he gave her a friendly nudge.

Incredulously she replied: "What do you mean 'I'm not available".

Realising his slip-up, Dermot scrambled for what to say next, as he said: "Well, erm, you know".

Alison laughed: "I'm available", to which Dermot said: "Oh she is available".

Mum-of-one Alison then exclaimed: "Are you trying to say I'm not available?"

To which Dermot replied: "Well, I dunno, now I'm really confused, I thought you weren't available."

Alison then teased: "Is there someone in my life?", to which Dermot replied, "I think so".

A beaming Alison said: "Well I think you've just told the whole world", before laughing raucously.

Dermot said nervously: "I think I've just gone down a rabbit hole here".

After saying to her co-host: "I love the way you out me", she looked smitten as she confirmed: "There is someone in my life, yes".

She then said: "I'm going to tell everyone", gesturing towards the cameras and the viewers at home,.

"There is a special someone in my life".

Dermot put his head in his hands and apologetically mumbled: "I didn't mean it to come out, I was just saying you were a catch."

Alison didn't seem too fazed by her co-host's slip-up though, as she said: "Thank you Dermot for telling everybody, but there is someone I'm dating, so it is a bit closed."

She then said: "But you know what? I want to share it with our family [This Morning viewers]

Alison is a mother to a 17 year old son, Aiden – her only child – who she shares with her ex-husband, Manchester cab driver, Noureddine Boufaied.

The Birmingham-born star found fame on the third series of Big Brother in 2002, shortly after which she found out she was pregnant, and despite being the second person to be evicted, she went on to enjoy a great career in TV, on shows such as This Morning, I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity MasterChef and Strictly Come Dancing.
