Alison Hammond has been showered with support after she shared a heartbreaking wish on social media. The This Morning host took to both Instagram and Twitter to share a tribute to her late mum on what would have been her birthday.
Her mum, Maria, died in January 2020 from liver and lung cancer. Alison shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram on Valentine's Day the same year after laying her mum to rest in "a beautiful ceremony she would have been proud of." Paying tribute at the time, Alison shared: "Today I dedicate Valentine’s Day to my beautiful, wonderful Mother Maria who passed away from liver and lung cancer. Yesterday my family and I celebrated her amazing life and laid her to rest in a beautiful ceremony she would have been proud of," she said.
"Thank you mummy for giving me the strength to move forward in the knowledge that your ok and with God in Heaven now. I will always remember you and try and make you proud. I love you mum." And it turned into a double tragedy for Alison as Maria's death was then followed by the loss of her father, Clifford Hammond, in Jamaica four months later in June 2020.
