But an alarming warning from her doctor made Alison take things a little seriously.
Alison Hammond opens up on her weight loss battle
Following the second lockdown, Alison was told that she was pre-diabetic.
Speaking to The Sun, she explained: “Lockdown was dire for me in terms of weight. I couldn’t control my eating or how much exercise I did.
“It got to a stage where my doctor said: ‘You’ve got to do something about this, Alison.'”
I couldn’t control my eating
The news was certainly a wake-up call for Alison, as her late mum also had diabetes.
The star lost her beloved mum in February last year, after battling liver and lung cancer.
As a result, Alison decided to cut out sugar and exercise regularly, meaning she’s no longer pre-diabetic.

She added: “I feel a lot better. I’m not weighing myself, because you feel it in your clothes… I’m doing really well.”
Furthermore, the host also spoke about her gastric band removal during the chat.
Despite having the band fitted in 2014, her body rejected it and she couldn’t “keep down one bite of food”.
