ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby hopes Alison Hammond won't be single for life

Holly Willoughby supported Alison Hammond as she gave a cryptic insight into her relationship status.

It was reported in February that the ITV star was engaged to her boyfriend of two years as confirmed by her soon-to-be father-in-law. Colin Hawkins told MailOnline that Alison and his son, Ben, have already "proposed to one another".

But she seems to have shunned those rumours for a second time as she wore a different kind of ring on her finger. She joined co-host Holly Willoughby at the helm of This Morning as they discussed wearing a green ring instead of using dating apps.

Alison explained that single people have started wearing a green ring to replace dating apps. She said: "More people are wanting to meet people out and about and having a green ring might be a good idea so that people know you're single."

As she was speaking she held up her hand to show that she was wearing one of the green rings on her little finger. The 48-year-old said: "As you can see, I've got my single ring on."

She explained that the ring is on sale for £19.99 and gives buyers a "lifetime membership" to a single's club - The Pair Club. Holly chimed in as she said: "Hopefully you won't need it for a lifetime."

Despite the engagement rumours, Alison previously said she was single earlier this month as she was eyeing up a new programme dubbed "the middle-aged Love Island". Dermot O'Leary said: “ITV is looking for vibrant single parents across the UK", to which Alison laughed and replied: “Well I am single, I'm single!”
