Alison Hammond made a triumphant return to This Morning this month and after a summer of love and laughter, it seems her star is shining brighter than ever.

The 49-year-old is loved-up with Russian masseur David Putman, 27, and a source told us that after her new man was given the official seal of approval from Alison's teenage son Aidan, they have even talked about marriage.

On top of her happy home life, Alison showed off the incredible results of her fitness regime, which has seen her drop from 28st down to 17st, at the National Television Awards last week.

"This is the most content Alison has been for a long time, everything seems to be going well," our source said. "Her career is going from strength to strength and she loves being on This Morning with Dermot O'Leary. The audiences love her and she is very in demand.

"She's also lost quite a bit of weight and while she's always been happy with her body no matter what its size, she feels very healthy and has been working out a lot more and taking care of herself. She's glowing!"

In April, the Great British Bake Off host delighted everyone when she went official with younger man David, posting photographs of them looking cosy together.
