THIS Morning host Alison Hammond was forced to reveal she’s dating someone on today’s This Morning – after her co-host Dermot O’Leary let the news slip.
The 47-year-old was left red faced as Dermot ‘outed her’, but confirmed she is now officially off the market.
As they opened the show, Dermot was quizzing Alison about something when he casually dropped in: “You are not available anymore.”
She replied: “What do you mean I am not available?”
Dermot quickly tried to back track as she realised what he had done, as Alison exclaimed: “You’ve just told the whole world.”
She continued: “There is a special someone. There is someone in my life. There is somebody I am dating but you know what I want to share with our family. Thanks for outing me Dermot. I tell you once and you tell the whole world.”

Dermot admitted: “I forget we are on telly.”
Laughing, Alison told viewers: “I am off the market, I am so so sorry.”
Alison was previously married to the cab driver Noureddine Boufaied from Manchester and found out she was pregnant shortly after appearing on the third series of Big Brother.
The star refused to name who the father was at the time, but later posed for a magazine shoot together while she was three months pregnant.

Last year Alison ruled out finding love on a dating app, admitting she would rather meet someone “naturally”.
Alison went on Celebs Go Dating in 2020 when she dated audio technician Ben Kusi.
