Alison Hammond lets slip details of first date with 'very tall' boyfriend

Alison Hammond was surprised by a phone call on This Morning from a lady called Anita, who she met whilst on a train on her first date with her boyfriend

Alison Hammond has recalled some details about her first ever date with her boyfriend.

The This Morning star is dating David Putman and for their first date, they went on a special train experience. The revelation was only made today when a lady called Anita phoned in to thank Alison for being so kind to her.

Speaking on the show, Anita said: "Alison you are a wonderful person who made a lady feel so special. We met on the Pullman train. My husband was the guard and I'd been invited on because I'd just finished cancer treatment - chemo and radiotherapy.

"You never rushed me out, you asked me everything, what I'd gone through. Alison, I know you're from the midlands but I think we're such special people that we've always got a smile and a kind word, and like yourself, I like to think I'm kind but sometimes you do get hurt being kind. You, Alison, I can't tell you did for me that day."

Alison then interjected to say: "That's such a lovely thing to say. Anita, what's lovely about you is that you haven't mentioned who I was with. See how lovely that was!" She then went on to explain how it was her first date with her now boyfriend.

"It was my first date with my boyfriend. It was so lovely, and you met him before anyone else knew anything about him. And you loved him didn't you?" before Anita remarked that he was "so tall".

Speaking about their date, Alison added: "We went on the train and she came and joined us and we had some wine. I was so nervous."

Alison has kept fairly quiet about her romance with David, but a source recently claimed she is keen to get married.

"Her career is going from strength to strength and she loves being on This Morning with Dermot and 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 size, she feels very healthy and has been working out a lot more and taking care of herself. She's glowing!" a source said.

"They went through some tough times when they first started going out but David has made her believe in love again and has restored her faith in men. Add in the fact that she is very happy in her new relationship and has got Aidan's approval and Alison couldn't be happier. They have talked about marriage and although it's quite soon, Alison would love to get married one day. And she wants to look her best when she does even if it's not for a while."
