Alison Hammond's Mum's Words Sparked 11-Stone Weight Loss

Alison Hammond has shared that her mother's comment about her weight was the catalyst for her significant 11-stone weight loss. The presenter recounted her mother's plea to 'try and sort out your weight' during a hospital stay, a topic her mother had never raised before.

Hammond's health journey has focused on consistency and support, rather than rapid results. She previously disclosed her struggles with extreme weight, revealing she once weighed nearly 28 stone and felt compelled to buy an extra airplane seat due to her size.

These experiences led to embarrassing moments, such as being moved to first class after a fellow passenger requested to switch seats. Hammond noted she no longer needs two seats due to her weight loss, acknowledging that not everyone can afford the extra seating.

More recently, Hammond has also spoken out against criticism regarding the 23-year age difference between herself and her boyfriend, David Puttnam, stating it is a private matter.
