Alison Hammond, a beloved TV presenter, opened up about facing tough times in her career. As she shared her story, emotions overwhelmed her and she was seen wiping away tears. This happened during an interview where she reflected on her financial struggles after becoming a regular face on This Morning.
The 49-year-old first rose to fame in 2002 after her appearance on Big Brother. Since then, she has become a household name in the UK, appearing on various shows including The Great British Bake Off and For The Love Of Dogs.
Despite her success, Alison's journey has not always been smooth. Months after leaving the Big Brother house, she joined This Morning as a reporter. However, in 2007, she found herself unable to pay her mortgage. At the time, she was not being booked on the show and instead, she worked at a hair salon answering phones and blow-drying customers' hair.
As she recalled these difficult times, Alison broke down and shared, "It's not all good all of the time. But I was all right, you know? That's television, it's fickle and it's part of my journey, part of my power." She also acknowledged that her current success may not last forever, and that's okay. She knows she will be okay because she has been through tough times before. She even joked that she could work at Tesco and people would still love her.
During the interview, Alison also revealed that a producer from Bake Off had called her a "nightmare" but clarified that it was because of her boundless energy and enthusiasm. She is known to lift the spirits of those around her, even on days when the crew is feeling tired.
As she talked about her role on Bake Off, Alison shared a behind-the-scenes moment when she cried on the show. She admitted that with each season, she cares more about the contestants and was surprised when she burst into tears after they left last year. "I was like, 'What is going on?'" she recalled.
Recently, Rylan, Alison's co-star on This Morning, jokingly called her the "worst houseguest ever." He shared a funny story of how she stayed at his house and forgot to take her makeup off after a night of drinking. He found her makeup smeared all over the pillow the next day.
Despite the ups and downs, Alison's career continues to thrive. She is set to host new shows, including Alison Hammond's Big Weekend where she will spend two days with celebrities, and a travel series around America with her son.
With all her success, Alison remains humble and grateful for her journey. She is a reminder that even in the face of challenges, there is always hope for a brighter future.
