Alison Hammond’s Inspiring Transformation and Exciting 2026 Projects

Television Star’s Remarkable Health Journey

Alison Hammond has given fans an eye-opening look at how she dropped 11 stone over five years. The This Morning host, who weighed 28 stone at her heaviest, got down to 16 and a half stone and reversed a pre-diabetic diagnosis. The 50-year-old television presenter’s transformation has become one of the most talked-about celebrity health stories of recent years, inspiring viewers across the UK.

In a post over the weekend, Hammond detailed some of the “simple changes” she has undertaken to slimline her figure, including various fitness tricks. She has instead been committing to fitness sessions with a personal trainer and overhauled her diet, avoiding weight loss injections despite their popularity. Her mother Maria had raised concerns when Hammond was diagnosed pre-diabetic and the TV star decided to address her health issues after Maria died in 2020 from lung and liver cancer.

Career Highlights and New Projects

Alison Hammond, 50, has continued to cement her place as one of British television’s most popular presenters, hosting ITV’s This Morning and co-presenting The Great British Bake Off. The 50-year-old presenter has been linked with the upcoming vacant hosting slots on Strictly Come Dancing so ITV have moved to lock her down to starring on their flagship daytime programme throughout 2026 and she is “very happy” there.

The show presented by Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will feature audience choice week, which will see the contestants prepare bakes suggested by those watching at home as they “see their ideas come to life”. Additionally, one of her upcoming projects is Channel 4’s Your Song, a new singing competition due to air in the spring, with Sam Ryder and Paloma Faith appearing as mentors.

Looking Ahead to 2026

Looking ahead to 2026, Hammond says she prefers to set intentions rather than strict resolutions, focusing on work that feels meaningful and energising. “I don’t make strict resolutions, but I do set intentions,” she says. The popular TV personality has also revealed she recently moved in with her boyfriend, Russian masseuse David Putman, 28, marking a new chapter in her personal life.

Alison Hammond’s journey continues to resonate with audiences nationwide. Her authenticity, combined with her remarkable health transformation and professional success, solidifies her position as one of Britain’s most beloved television personalities. As she embarks on 2026 with renewed energy and exciting projects, viewers can expect to see much more of this inspirational presenter across multiple platforms.
