After keeping her lips sealed on the recent speculation surrounding a fresh twist in her love life, Alison Hammond has finally lifted the lid on her brand new beau.
For those not quite up to date with the 49-year-old This Morning presenter's romantic endeavours, allow us to fill you in...
Last month, mother-of-one Alison debuted her relationship with 26-year-old David Putman on social media.

According to initial reports, the duo first came face-to-face last year, after the on-screen star booked an appointment with the part-time model, part-time professional massage therapist.
Towards the end of 2023, however, the pair's former friendship was said to have developed into something deeper, with Alison going on to premiere her new fella on Instagram in April.
The exciting teaser came just months after it was confirmed that the ITV favourite had split from her former partner, gardener Ben Hawkins, last year.

Since sharing her first few snaps of her significantly younger new gent, however, Alison has kept her silence on the matter.
That is, until the former Big Brother star appeared on fellow funnymen Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe's Parenting Hell podcast this week, where she discussed the world of dating.
Asked by the comedian duo whether or not she was single, she coyly replied: "No, I’m not single. I’m dating. I’m dating!"
Eek, good for you, babes!

And later during the show, when Rob and Josh pressed her about the realities of dating as a single mother, Alison - who shares her 19-year-old son Aidan with an ex-partner - opened up even further.
"It’s more difficult, he is more verbal now that he is older. He’ll want to know who this person is and he’ll want to meet them," she explained.
"It’s a lot harder. He’ll wanna know that this guy is treating me well. The person who I am seeing at the moment, he is on his Instagram and is like ‘yeah I like him, he’s not too in your face’. Aidan is on it."

Despite her initial hesitation, Alison went on to reveal that her new man David - who is 23 years her junior - and her teenage son had actually already met.
"When they actually met, he really liked him, he really thought he was lovely, so that’s nice," she recalled.
"Thank goodness for that! Because normally Aidan hates anybody I date, literally just not interested. And you just know at that point, if Aidan doesn’t like them, this isn’t gonna work."
