Alison Hammond burst into the limelight on her appearance on the third series of Big Brother back in 2002.
Though she was the second person to be evicted from the house that season, her vibrant personality made her a favourite among viewers, her stint on the show becoming the launchpad of her career on This Morning.
Only two weeks after leaving the Big Brother house, Alison was offered a job on This Morning as a showbiz reporter.
