Alison Hammond didn’t hold back when it came to her outfit on Friday’s episode of This Morning. The 50-year-old presenter tore into her deep purple belted leather-style dress after Jeff Brazier praised the look.
Alison admitted she wasn’t impressed, saying she had expected leather but instead discovered, “It smells weird – I think it’s PVC. It’s something rubbish. Don’t worry, I’m going to donate it to charity afterwards.”
Even after a break, Alison was still joking about the outfit, laughing that the dress was making her “dance like a granny.” Dermot O’Leary teased back, insisting: “Well, I told you, we can’t get rid of the dress.”
Viewers quickly joined in with the banter on social media. One quipped: “Is it national Wear A Binbag To Work day?” while another compared her look to “a garden waste bag.” Others joked it resembled a sofa or even “an original DFS.”
The dress drama came just days after Alison wowed fans with glamorous new selfies showing off her 11-stone weight loss. Styled by her “glam man” Mikey Phillips, she flashed a huge smile in a denim jacket, white T-shirt and colourful skirt.
Alison, who once weighed 28 stone, revealed she turned her health around after being diagnosed as pre-diabetic. She has since reversed the condition through healthier food choices and regular workouts. She told Heat: “I’ve got a personal trainer – she’s amazing. If I’m working, I’ll go for a walk. When I’m home, I’ll train four times a week.”
On food, Alison insists balance is key: “I don’t deny myself anything. I eat everything, but in moderation.” She also confessed she only tastes cakes on The Great British Bake Off if they’ve received a Paul Hollywood handshake or won the challenge, adding with a grin: “If the judges aren’t impressed, I’m not trying it.”
