Alison Hammond is said to be in a ‘secret relationship’ with a handsome gardener who looks after her home in the West Midlands, according to reports.
The 48-year-old This Morning presenter is reported to have hired the good looking groundskeeper two years ago to look after the land surrounding her house, before the pair sparked a connection.
According to sources, the former Big Brother contestant - who is gearing up to host the Baftas with Richard E. Grant this Sunday - was allegedly spotted arriving at Ben’s family home on Monday at around 10.30am as the romance gets serious.
Alison, who admitted on This Morning she has a 'special someone' is also said to have spent Valentine’s Day with the green-fingered new man.
A source told The Sun: “They love to hang out and have been for meals and down to the pub.
“They’re both down to earth and get on like a house on fire.
“She makes him laugh and Alison thinks it’s cute he still lives with his parents,” they revealed.
The Mirror has contacted a representative of Alison Hammond for a comment on the matter.
