Alison Hammond's son, Aidan, has opened up about his relationship with his famous mum as the pair are set to appear on screen together in the latest series of Celebrity Gogglebox
Alison Hammond's son, Aidan, has given a rare insight into his childhood, revealing he would take refuge in his grandmother's house after disputes with his famous mum.
Aspiring DJ Aidan, who turned 20 this year, was born in 2005 to Alison and her then-fiancé Noureddine Boufaied. However, despite their split in 2014, the pair have continued to co-parent the youngster.
‌
Chatting on the Spin Justice podcast, Aidan reminisced about visiting his grandmother's house across the road when he and his mum weren't seeing eye to eye: "When we were in the flat, she had a house pretty much opposite us, so we could literally leave and run across the road. So when my mum was doing my head in, I'd just go to my nan's (house)."
‌
Aidan fondly recalled the close-knit bond with his nan during his formative years: "It was really nice, because like I said, we were very, very close."
Sadly, Alison's mother, Maria, passed away from lung and liver cancer in January 2020, just five years ago.
Alison Hammond, who first graced our screens on Big Brother in 2002, has become a household name after taking up presenting duties on This Morning in recent years.
Starting as a reporter and making waves with her bubbly personality at various UK locations, Alison has climbed the ranks to regularly co-host alongside Dermot O'Leary.
‌
Alison is set to bring her infectious charm to a new project as she joins Aidan and Saundra, her sister, on the sofa for Celebrity Gogglebox 's return tonight.
But, it's not the first time that Alison has appeared alongside her son, after they previously appeared together in Alison Hammond's Florida Unpacked.
The show sees the pair venture across Florida whilst keeping to a tight budget while offering viewers the hidden beauty spots of the beloved holiday destination. The show also features them kayaking in Silver Springs, and venturing through Miami.
‌
The beloved TV personality also shared her delight at joining the Celebrity Gogglebox cast, saying: "I'm so excited to be doing Celebrity Gogglebox with my son Aidan."
She added: "We've always loved watching telly together, and now we get to do it on the sofa for the nation! It's a real family affair too, because my fabulous sister Saundra is getting involved as well. Expect laughs, eye-rolls, and lots of commentary – classic Hammond style!".
