Alison Hammond Sets Record Straight on Weight Loss Speculations
Television personality and presenter Alison Hammond, widely recognized for her roles on 'Big Brother' and 'This Morning', has publicly addressed persistent rumors surrounding her significant weight loss.

In a candid recent interview, Hammond firmly dismissed these claims and emphasized that she still considers herself overweight with more progress to make.
Hammon's Candid Remarks on Her Weight Loss Journey
While discussing her transformation on 'The Daily Telegraph', Hammond responded to the swirling rumors with a mix of humor and honesty. "It makes me laugh when I see comments like 'Alison is so skinny now'. I'm still overweight! I'm a size 20! I'm by far not at my ideal weight for my height," she stated. The presenter clarified that her primary motivation for losing weight was health-related, specifically to manage a pre-diabetes diagnosis. "But the main thing is my diabetes is now in the optimum range," she added, highlighting the positive health outcomes from her efforts.
Denial of Ozempic Use and Fitness Regimen Details
Alison Hammond openly denied using Ozempic or any similar weight loss drugs. Instead, she attributed her success to a dedicated fitness plan developed with the help of three personal trainers. At her heaviest, Hammond weighed 390 pounds, but through consistent exercise and dietary changes, she achieved a loss of around 150 pounds. She credited various workout routines for her transformation, including:
- Pilates for core strength and flexibility
- Boxing for cardiovascular health and endurance
- Circuit training for overall fitness and calorie burning
- Strength training to build muscle and boost metabolism
Hammond also expressed pride in her body image, embracing her size as part of her identity and career. "I like being bigger than everyone! I don't want to take up less space in the world. I want to fill that space," she shared, reflecting on how her larger frame has been integral to her public persona and professional beginnings.
Current Professional Engagements and Future Projects
On the professional front, Alison Hammond continues to host popular shows such as 'This Morning' and 'The Great British Bake Off'.
