Alison Hammond loves her TV career, but admits it comes with a sacrifice as she opened up about her son.
The This Morning host, 47, is the proud mum of son Aiden, who she took with her to the BAFTAs on Sunday (May 8).
The bubbly Brummie posed up a storm with her pride and joy on the red carpet.
But Alison revealed she hasn’t always been there for the 17-year-old because of her TV jobs.
Alison Hammond son
Alison was nominated in the Entertainment Performance category at the BAFTAs.
Speaking to Vick Hope at the bash, she said: “I’ve got my son here today, you know, with this… with working in television and stuff comes sacrifices.

“I haven’t always been there for my son, so this is a wonderful recognition, and I’m so honoured that the BAFTAs nominated me really.”
Despite not winning an award, the Big Brother star looked stunning on the red carpet.
Aiden also looked dapper wearing a sharp black suit.
The teen’s father is cab driver Noureddine Boufaied.
He and Alison married, but split up before 2014 when the host became engaged to single dad Jamie Savage.
Sadly that relationship wasn’t to be, and in 2017 the star said: “We split up. It’s the worst news ever. I don’t think I want anyone else now.”
Alison is currently thought to be single.
