This Morning's Alison Hammond opens up on career 'could end tomorrow'
Alison Hammond has been a staple on TV screens since she first appeared on Big Brother back in 2002.
ITV viewers are used to seeing Alison Hammond fronting Friday's instalment of This Morning alongside Dermot O'Leary.
The 50-year-old has come a long way since she appeared on the third series of Big Brother back in 2022.
After joining ITV as the person who detailed the latest competitions to viewers, she became part of the presenting team in 2021, replacing Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.
Since bursting onto the TV scene, Alison has appeared on a plethora of shows, from taking part in Strictly Come Dancing to co-hosting The Great British Bake Off with Noel Fielding.
However, it's clear she doesn't take her place in the TV world for granted, as she told Radio Times she's enjoying every moment.
In a recent interview, she said: "I'm so happy! I'm in such a good place. I'm 50, I've done everything I needed to do in life, and now I'm just enjoying it!
"I've had hard times, and I know television is fickle, so tomorrow I could be out of work. This might not be for ever, so you've got to enjoy every single day, and it's not the end of the world if it ends. I could go get a job in Tesco and be more than happy there as well."
This month, BBC viewers will see Alison in a brand new show as she gets under the skin of some of the UK's best-known celebrities in Alison Hammond's Big Weekend.
Exploring the private lives of celebrities such as Perrie Edwards, Spice Girl's Mel B and Sir Lenny Henry, the six-part series will delve deeper into their personal lives and history.
A synopsis reads: "All six celebrities open themselves up to Alison, sharing personal revelations, fun times, and the occasional tear as they show Alison the people and places that have shaped them into the stars they are today.
"The show takes Alison across the UK as she asks the big questions viewers are dying to know - all in her unique and hilarious way that has made the star one of the country's most beloved TV personalities."
Ahead of the series, Alison teased that there are some emotional moments and laughs along the way.
When asked what people can expect to see, she said: "Oh, babes, buckle up! Big Weekend is all about me getting celebs to have the juiciest, funniest, and sometimes most emotional chats.
"It's a full-blown experience! We're talking deep convos, belly laughs and spontaneous singalongs. From roller coasters with Mel B to ice baths with Jimmy Carr, this series is packed with surprises."
Alison Hammond's Big Weekend airs on BBC One and iPlayer from Friday 16th May 8:30pm
