This Morning’s Alison Hammond bagged a boyfriend on a dating app but is ‘really not into them any more’

THIS Morning’s Alison Hammond has given fans a rare insight into her love life – saying she found a man on a dating app.

However, the 46-year-old star said: “I’ve been there and done it – I’m really not into them any more.”

Alison, who is a judge on new BBC singing show I Can See Your Voice, told Notebook: “Right now, being single is the worst but dating in lockdown is not my thing.”

Asked if she used dating apps, she said: “I’ve been there and done it. I’ve had a boyfriend from a dating app and I’m really not into them any more.

“Especially during these times, you can’t even meet up with someone and I don’t just want to be doing loads of messages.

“I’d rather meet someone naturally. Right now, being single is the worst
but dating in lockdown is not my thing.”

Alison went on Celebs Go Dating in 2020 when she dated audio technician Ben Kusi.

She and the 6ft2in bloke recreated the pottery scene in romance classic Ghost on the show, with her raving to This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby: “He’s fit.

“I could see later on, I will want to rip his clothes off. I can see a future potential. He looks great. He’s beautiful.”

Alison has been married before, to Manchester cab driver Noureddine, who is also father to their son Aiden, who is now 16.

TV star Alison found love again in 2014 after meeting single dad Jamie Savage on an online dating site – and they even got engaged.

However, the relationship didn’t last, with Alison explaining in 2017: “We split up. It’s the worst news ever. I don’t think I want anyone else now.”

Asked this month if she’d had any messages from celebs, she replied: “They are always sliding into my DMs these celebrities!

“It’s just too much. The last person was Paddy [McGuinness] asking if
I was alright.”

Alison joked: “Jimmy [Carr] slid into my DMs too – he won’t leave me alone. I’ve blocked him now. Dermot keeps sliding into my DMs so I’ve blocked him too!”
