Alison Hammond ‘weight loss’

“How have you lost your weight? You look incredible,” added another admirer.

A third said: “Alison looks fab. How much weight as she lost?”

Alison you look incredible, best you’ve ever looked. Living for this era!

‘She has her sights set on losing a further 3 stone’

Earlier this summer it was reported Alison, 49, is aiming to lose weight in order to wear the “wedding dress of her dreams”.

She’s not engaged to her Russian boyfriend, but an unnamed source still claimed to Closer: “Alison doesn’t recognise her reflection – she thinks it’s insane. She’s lost almost 5 stone and is still going strong.

“She wants to be a sexy bride for her new man. Although she’s not yet engaged, she sees David as The One.

“It likely won’t be long before they take the next step so she has her sights set on losing a further 3 stone and wearing the dress of her dreams. She just wants to be a healthy version of herself and she’s definitely moving in the right direction.”

But despite her reported recent happiness, Alison has previously opened up about weight struggles.

At one point she weighed 20 stone. And she also reflected on having a gastric band fitted in her autobiography.

She recalled: “I was sick a lot. I couldn’t keep anything down. It was really distressing, I felt as if my body was rejecting the foreign entity inside me and I began to get ill.

“I kept it for two years, until it was getting to the point where I couldn’t even keep down one bite of food. ‘I can’t take this any more,’ I thought, miserably.”
