ALISON Hammond has become one of the UK's leading presenters thanks to top hosting jobs on show's like This Morning and Bake Off.
But the sought-after star's greatest joy is being mum to her beloved son, Aidan.
Born on February 5, 2005, Alison Hammond welcomed her son Aidan on her 30th birthday.
Previously speaking about their son's birth, the TV star joked: "He was there.
"He was loving it!
"He hadn't bought me a present, so I was a bit miffed because I was like, 'I can't believe it's my birthday and you haven't even bought me flowers or a card!"
