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.
The insight on her love life comes as Alison recently pulled out all the stops to celebrate her 48th birthday.
The mum-of-one was joined by her This Morning co-stars and son Aiden, who has just turned 18.
Guests including Holly Willoughby , Dermot O'Leary, Carol Vorderman and Vanessa Feltz let their hair down at the bash, which was also attended by fashion guru Gok Wan, who was on DJ duty.
As glamorous drag queens paraded around the swanky venue in Birmingham, Alison told the revellers: "We're live on Instagram !"
Giant lit-up 48 and 18 statues were on display in the video behind an enormous blue birthday cake for Aiden and an elaborately-decorated pink affair for Alison.
Concluding the eight-minute clip, the Big Brother star said: "Hi everyone, woo, we're having a lovely party.
"I wish you was all here, that's why I've gone live on Instagram. I've had some birthday cake, I've had some food, I'm drinking water and I've had a lovely time.
"I hope you've enjoyed joining me, I'm gonna go now and enjoy my party. Love you, bye!”
