Alison Hammond has admitted that other people may question her home set-up but it works for her.
The TV star, 47, discussed her unusual home life as she sat down with This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby to be interviewed for her By the light of the Moon podcast.
During the conversation, Alison explained that it is just not her and her son Aiden, 17, who reside at her Birmingham abode but that they have two other houseguests - her gay best friend, Jason, and his pet pooch, Bobby.
Confessing others may wonder 'how does that all work?" she told Holly that she absolutely loves her home situation.'
Alison said: "My family life is so like, if you look at it from the outside you’ll be like ‘how does that all work?’"
Lifting the lid, she continued: "I live with my gay best friend Jason, I've got Jason’s dog called Bobby, there is my son and me and it is such a great family and we work so well together.
"Jason’s there helping me with Aiden, Aiden is there helping Jason, the dog, helping me. It is just such a good little unit and I absolutely love my home life situation I cook for my boys and home life I am winning!"
Alison loves Birmingham and has previously said that she would never leave the city.
"I like doing dead ordinary things when I’m away from work – I just dropped my son off at the Snowdome and that’s more important and more fun than all the partying under the sun," she once told Birmingham Living.
“This is who I am. I am a private person in real life but very outward going when I have an audience.
"I love Birmingham. I love everything about it. I would never leave it."

Last year, Alison shared that she regrets not having more children.
The former Big Brother housemate who shares Aidan with ex-husband Noureddine Boufaied, told OK! : "I wish I’d banged out two at the same time. As soon as I had Aidan I went straight on contraception because the doctors encourage you to.
"I wish I hadn’t listened and just banged another baby out then."
She added: "I’m so disappointed as I always saw myself with five or six kids, not one. I’ve got so much love to give, I need six to share it all around."
