Alison Hammond reveals all about 'nerve-wracking' first date with boyfriend

This Morning's Alison Hammond opened up about her first romantic outing with beau David Putman.

Alison revealed all about her first date during an unexpected segment on This Morning today when a lady called Anita called in to express her gratitude towards Alison. On the show today, Anita explained when she first met Alison.

"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," she said.

"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."

Taken aback by her words, Alison responded, "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!"

Alison then went on to explained it was her first date. She said: "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? We went on the train and she came and joined us and we had some wine. I was so nervous."

Alison Hammond has been relatively low-key about her relationship with David, but insiders have recently suggested she's eager to tie the knot, reports the Mirror.

"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! " an insider revealed.

"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."
