What Alison’s son Aidan thinks of her new man
Alison explained: “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.”
Aidan will want to know who this person is and he’ll want to meet them.
She went on: “It’s a lot harder. He’ll want to know that this guy is treating me well.”
Alison then revealed: “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.”

ITV star Alison – who is believed to have met David when she booked him for a massage – also shared how Aidan met the person she is romancing.
She said: “When they actually met, [Aidan] really liked him, he really thought he was lovely, so that’s nice. Thank goodness for that! Because normally Aidan hates anybody I date, literally just not interested.”
Alison also joked about Aidan being ‘protective’ of his mum.
She went 0n: “And you just know at that point, if Aidan doesn’t like them, this isn’t going to work. There are moments where I think: ‘Who’s the parent here?!’’
“It’s nice though because I always feel like there’s someone there looking over me, protecting me.”
