Hammond

ALISON Hammond looked incredible as she showed off her 13 stone weight loss in a glam gown during London Fashion Week.

Big Brother icon turned TV golden girl Alison, 51, has overhauled her body in recent years and is now proudly reaping the rewards of her hard work. 

Alison looked sensational as she posed backstage ahead of the Vin + Omi “Anarchy” show during London Fashion Week.

The TV presenter was seen in a purple sequinned gown as she stared moodily at the camera.

With full glam makeup and voluminous hair, Alison looked absolutely fabulous.

Alison has spent recent years vehemently denying fat jabs helped her to shed her weight. 

OFF THE SCALE

How Alison REALLY lost 13st… from £2 trick to breaking scales & toyboy’s role

LOCKED IN

Towie’s James Lock reveals huge career move & plan to ditch ‘lothario’ image

And we revealed earlier this year that her astonishing weight loss is actually the result of an adventurous gym routine, a toyboy boyfriend and a £2.85 supermarket secret.  

A close pal said: “Alison was mortified when she stepped on the scales in 2020 and her weight was so high the sensor broke. 

“It stopped at anything over 29st, so she has no idea exactly how much she weighed back then.”

The scale shock prompted her to visit the doctor, who confirmed she was prediabetic and needed to slim down or face an early death. 

Now Alison, who is mum to Aidan, 21, works out three to five times a week with her personal trainers Lui Mancini and Ellis Gatfield.  

She combines strength training, boxing and Pilates rather than cardio and when she is busy working she enjoys walking.

But no doubt also helping Alison’s confidence is her lover David Putman, 29, a former Russian model, who she met when she booked in for a massage in 2023.

Alison, previously told how weight loss jabs were not for her because she was “frightened” by “scary” stories surrounding them. 

Jeremy Clarkson has reunited with Richard Hammond and James May at the premiere of the latest series of The Grand Tour after qutting the long-running programme two years ago

Jeremy Clarkson has reunited with Richard Hammond and James May at the premiere of the latest series of The Grand Tour. The TV star, 66, famously fronted the motoring series with Richard and James in the years after they found fame fronting Top Gear.

The trio decided to step down in 2024 after eight years at the helm of the hit Amazon Prime series and it was then announced that Francis Bourgeois, along with YouTube stars Thomas Holland and James Engelsman were stepping into their shoes.

But Jeremy, James and Richard were still out in full force at the launch of the world premiere of the new series of The Grand Tour as it all took place in London on Wednesday night. The guys all looked in good spirits as they walked the red carpet and greeted their successors.

In the first series, the team will tackle some big motoring questions, such as what’s the most unbreakable car in history and can you travel across Colorado undetected in a trio of Japanese microcars.

F1 World Champion Jenson Button also makes a special appearance in the trailer, whilst it also shows the trio head to Malaysia to see all about the country’s rich car culture as well as how little someone can spend on a sports car without it immediately blowing up.

In the new series, they travel through Angola in track-cars, which are quite unsuited for the job. They even test out the greatest American cars including the the Ford Mustang GTD, Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, and $2.75m, 2000-horsepower Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution Evolution against a bunch of fighter jets.

Francis Bourgeois said of joining the show: “Since completing the filming of the series, I haven’t stopped replaying every moment in my head. It has made me laugh, made my heart race and my stomach turn…remembering the tent

“I shared with Thomas and James filled with sulphuric farts whilst Angolan jackals snooped around outside. It feels as though it was a dream but knowing we will get to share our adventures soon makes me so incredibly excited!”

James Engelsman added: “We took on the West African Desert. We contended with fighter pilots. We even decided to challenge an entire nation’s legal system by protesting from the mountain tops. In doing so, the three of us learned our true strength: How to accept defeat gracefully.”

Thomas Holland shared: “I figured someone would be there to hold our hand the whole time. Nope. We were on our own in some absolutely wild environments in very, VERY questionable cars. What did we learn from this experience? Only that we have very poor decision-making skills. When you watch in September, expect a good laugh. And maybe a few butt clenches…”

The Grand Tour will launch all six episodes exclusively on Prime Video on Friday 4th September.
