Iconic British TV star signs up for Celebrity Gogglebox with nepo baby son after impressing Channel 4 bosses

An iconic British TV star has reportedly signed up to Celebrity Gogglebox and will be joined on the sofa with her nepo baby son. 

Alison Hammond, 50, and her son Aidan, 19, are set to watch TV from the comfort of their family front room while taking part in the new series of the hit Channel 4 show. 

Producers were left impressed with the mother and son duo after they recently fronted a BBC Two holiday show, Florida Unpacked. 

The This Morning presenter and Aidan will be among the new star pairings who will appear on Gogglebox to raise money for Stand Up For Cancer.  

A TV insider told The Sun: ‘Producers were impressed by the dynamic between Aidan and his mum on their new travel show, so wanted a piece of it for Celebrity Gogglebox.

‘They’re always looking for new duos to appear on the programme to keep it constantly feeling fresh, and, of course, fronting the Great British Bake Off means she’s already part of the C4 family.

‘A date for the series in question has yet to be set and the other names aren’t confirmed.’

MailOnline have contacted Channel 4 and Alison Hammond’s representatives for comment. 

It comes after Alison gave an insight into her health and fitness regime after dropping 11-stone.

The presenter decided to lose weight after the death of her mother Maria – who had raised concerns over Alison’s pre-diabetic diagnosis.

Now, she has revealed how she managed to lose 11-stone without the ᴀssistance of weight-loss jabs, giving an insight into her exercise plan with her personal trainer.

Alison, who weighed 28-stone at her heaviest, told Heat: ‘I’ve got a personal trainer – she’s amazing, she trains me when I can train. 

‘If I’m working, I don’t train, I’ll go for a walk.

‘But when I’m at home, I’ll go and have a session with her in the morning, just an hour. It might be four days a week.’

She also revealed her approach to her diet, saying she hasn’t cut anything out completely but focuses on ‘moderation’.

‘I don’t deny myself anything, I eat everything, but in moderation,’ she added.

Alison previously told how weight loss jabs weren’t for her, opting against using them because she was ‘frightened’ of ‘scary’ stories surrounding them. 

She told Good Housekeeping UK: ‘I think that, for people who need to use them, they’re a good thing – but for me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened. 

‘So I haven’t wanted to use them, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t in the future, and I certainly wouldn’t look down on anyone who did.’

Alison also revealed how her mother Maria, who died in January 2020 from lung and liver cancer, influenced her decision to overhaul her lifestyle.

She shared: ‘My mum had type 2 diabetes and she was worried for me, so when I then found out that I was pre-diabetic, that was frightening. 

‘I thought: ‘I have to be an adult about this’. The sweets had to stop – and the fatty foods. 

‘Twice a week, I see my personal trainer and I have a couple of weights in my bedroom. I walk, I stretch and sometimes I do a bit of yoga.’
