We don’t want those rumours going out there!
Dermot said of the ring: “You’ve been wearing this on the wrong finger.”
Alison said: “I’m so sorry, let’s swap it over. It’s just some cheap ring that I got from, um, probably Primark!”
She then swapped the ring over to the other hand, saying: “We don’t want those rumours going out there!”
It came after Alison confirmed she was dating again. She’s has found love with Russian model and masseuse David. He’s 23 years her junior.
Alison Hammond’s new boyfriend
However, the newfound romance has reportedly left friends of Alison concerned. David’s mother, Olga, has also allegedly raised worries over the relationship.
A source told The Sun recently: “Olga’s traditional values don’t sit well with their relationship. She’s uncomfortable that her son is with someone who has so much more financial power than him.”
Meanwhile, a more recent report claimed that Alison feels “devastated” over Olga’s opinion.

A source told Bella magazine: “Alison was absolutely devastated when she heard what Olga said. She thought it was totally unnecessary and didn’t expect it at all.
“She has really fallen for this guy, and everyone is worried. It’s not just the age difference – no one knows him, and people are concerned, especially now his mum has weighed in. This was why Alison was trying to keep it so quiet. She knew what the reaction would be.”
