Great British Bake Off star Alison Hammond's brutal act of revenge on ex

The star has found love with Russian masseuse David Putman, but had a string of heartbreak before meeting him

Alison Hammond has found love again - but he shouldn't mess with her after her brutal act of revenge on an ex resurfaced. The Brummie Queen of TV has been loved up with boyfriend David Putnam for quite some time after first hiding their relationship for almost two years.

The pair reportedly met when she employed his services as a masseuse and Alison has gushed about how he 'worships' her. The This Morning and The Great British Bake Off host, 49, has had a string of past heartbreaks.

She split with cab driver Noureddine Boufaied, with whom she shares son Aidan, 19, before later getting engaged to security guard Jamie Savage, who she met through a dating site.

They got engaged in 2014 before calling time on the romance in 2017. She also later dated gardener Ben Hawkins and cameraman Ben Kusi, after the pair met while starring on Celebs Go Dating.

Speaking on Channel 4's The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan in 2022, Alison revealed she had brutally omitted an ex from her autobiography just to annoy him.

She said: “I really wanted to p*** my ex off so I didn’t include him at all. I phoned him up and said, ‘Are you okay with me putting you in the book?’ and he said, 'Yeah, that’s fine, I’d love you to’, and I just left him out. And then I sent him the book!”

Alison admitted last year that she was ready to settle down. Speaking to Gyles Brandreth in an episode of his podcast Rosebud, she said: "I think as soon as I hear the word marriage I get cold feet. I think I'm just one of those people.

'I always - not think there's something better - but I always get a bit nervous to know that is it. 'I just feel like I'm tied down and I don't like it, when really and truly, I'm getting to that age now where I think "Alison, let go - it's OK to settle down."'
