Alison Hammond, 49, admits she 'wouldn't say no to marriage' as she gushes over 'supportive' toyboy boyfriend David, 27
The presenter, 50, went public with her boyfriend, 27 - who is a Russian masseur and model - in April last year when she posted a series of pictures on Instagram.
Despite their age gap, Alison has shared that he is very supportive of her and her TV career.
She told Heat magazine: 'He loves it. He just supports me. Anybody who I bring into my life supports me and whatever I do. They're so happy for me.
'I don't like to go into detail about him, because it's my private life, and I want to respect his life as well. But you know I'm loved-up, everyone knows that!'
When asked about whether she would like to get married, the 'This Morning' star didn't rule it out.
She said: 'I'd never say no. I might marry myself...'
Last month Alison and David squashed split rumours after they sparked speculation she secretly parted ways.
The couple looked more loved up than ever in pictures obtained by The Mirror.
Alison and David shared a steamy kiss while out shopping.
Alison also opened up in Good Housekeeping UK's January issue, admitting her and David 'fit like a jigsaw' as she revealed their traits balance each other out.
Speaking about their age gap, Alison said: 'I can see how, on paper, you'd notice the age difference. But honestly, when we see the word "toyboy" written about us, it bears no relation to what we have at all.
'Yes, I'm 22 years older than he is, but if you saw us together, you'd understand. People have said to me: "We get it now." He's so mature and sensible, and I'm so not.
She added: 'And the things he says to me...they're just so lovely. It's like a jigsaw; we fit and it all comes together.'
During the interview, Alison also spoke about her loving relationship with her son Aidan - who she recently gave an emotional apology to for 'not always being there '.
'If you could feel the way my son loves me, it's magical,' she said. 'He's grown into such a gentleman. He helps me so much, doing things around the house.
'He gives really good advice and because he's Gen Z, he has his finger on the pulse and tells me what's cool.
'He's the yin to my yang; he's like me, but a calmer version. I'm all, 'Woo-hoo' and he's more, "Mum, chill." He doesn't try to rein me in, though.'
She joked: 'He wouldn't try to change me because, well, why mess with perfection?'
Alison's comments about her boyfriend David are the first time she has spoken in depth about him, after mentioning him on This Morning in November.
A woman, named Anita, called to tell Alison how happy she had made her feel while they were on a train together earlier in the year.
Anita said: ' Alison Hammond you are a wonderful person who made a lady feel so special. My husband was the guard, I had been invited on because I'd just finished chemotherapy and radiotherapy.'
Alison added: 'I remember you, you came into my cabin area!'
The caller carried on: 'You never rushed me out, you asked me everything I'd gone through, how much weight I'd lost. Alison, I know you're from the Midlands, we're such special people.
'We've always got a smile and a kind word. I'm like yourself, I'm kind, but sometimes you do get hurt being kind. But you, Alison, I can't tell you what you did that day.'
At the end of the call Alison confessed that Anita had not mentioned that when she saw her, she was with her boyfriend.
Alison confessed: 'Anita, whats lovely about you, you've haven't mentioned who I was with. That was my very first date with my boyfriend. You met my boyfriend before anybody else knew about it!'

Moment woman carries seagull home from night out after finding it outside Wetherspoons… but gets instant karma
THIS is the hilarious moment that one drunken pub-goer took a seagull home and got instant karma. Erin Punton, 22, says she was walking home from a night out when she noticed the seagull outside a Wetherspoons in Northumberland. 5 Feeling more than a little bit tipsy, Erin scooped up the bird and began her journey home. Filming herself on the way, Erin sang her new winged friend a ballad. The video shows her belting Valerie by The Zutons - famously covered by Amy Winehouse - with the bird underneath her arm. Dressed in a pink top and a leather jacket, she can be seen shaking her hair out of her face while continuing to clutch onto the seagull. Throughout the hilarious footage, she puts a variety of filters over the camera - including one moody, vintage effect. Eventually, she staggers into her house and proclaims that the seagull is a 'beauty'. However, she then adds: 'He actually wants to stop in my room and everything but I've got nowhere for him.' Erin has revealed that when she woke up the next morning, the mysterious bird was still there. The 22-year-old said: 'I saw the bird outside Wetherspoons and managed to pick him up without even a thought. 'I don't even know what made me pick him up. 'I put him in my sitting room with a blanket. Royal Mail deliveries AXED in seaside village after terrified posties are forced to take drastic action 'When I woke up in the morning, I'd forgotten and he was just floating around the sitting room. 'I dropped him off at the vets the next day in a box and was told he had bird flu.' Horrified, Erin admitted that she had to 'bleach her whole house' after discovering her new fluffy friend was ill. She says the whole incident has left her feeling 'sick'. The news comes after the 13 seaside towns where feeding seagulls could land you with a fine were revealed. Public health and anti-social behaviour laws, introduced in 2009, were brought in to fight nuisance behavior from gulls. Feeding seagulls can cause an increase in swooping attacks, persistent begging and damage to property. Several towns have also introduced Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) to clamp down on efforts to feed gulls. 5

The six little-known Sky TV remote ‘codewords' to skip annoying ads, entertain your kids & unlock 5-star films instantly
TELLY fans can instantly upgrade their Sky-watching experience just by learning a few handy remote tricks. You can easily skip past ads, track down endless entertainment for your kids, and unlock the very best movies in a matter of seconds. It all works using the voice controls on Sky TV remotes. Most modern Sky telly remote controls feature a microphone button. You might have stared at it hundreds of times and never pressed it. But it can grant you dozens of different shortcuts – and I've picked out six of the best. If you get into the habit of using these special codewords and phrases, you'll save loads of time. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #1 – SKIP ADS First up is the ability to skip ads quickly. Now this won't work if you're watching live telly – but it's genius if you're viewing pre-recorded content. If you manually fast-forward through an ad break, it's pretty slow. But with the voice remote, you can just say: "Fast-forward three minutes." It'll whisk you right past the ads and back to your beloved telly. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #2 – TOP FLICKS You may have already known that you can search for movies with your voice by saying its name or asking for a genre. Sky customers can claim delicious freebies in new giveaway scheme But that might serve up some rubbish flicks that aren't worth your time. So instead, try asking for "movies rated five stars". That'll pull up a list of top-rated movies for your perusal, and hopefully ensure that you have a solid movie night. An alternative is to ask for "movies rated one star" if you want a bit of a laugh. 4 SKY TV VOICE TRICK #3 – FAST APPS Sometimes you're watching telly on a live channel or app and then want to view something else. Scrolling through menus and between apps can be a real faff. It's actually much quicker to just voice-request the name of the app. All you need to do is say "open Netflix" and it'll pop right up. You'll be shocked at how much time this can save you – but it's one of those tricks that you need to get into the habit of using, so you can really reap the rewards. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #4 – QUICK TELLY One of the biggest problems with watching TV in the modern age is the amount of choice you have. It can feel impossible to actually pick something because there's just endless telly out there. One solution to this is Sky's recommendation feature. 4 Just hit the microphone button and ask: "What should I watch?" This will feed you telly that you actually want to see based on your viewing habits. And it even works across Sky as well as third-party apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #5 – WORDS OFF Sometimes subtitles find themselves mysteriously activated and you can't work out why – or how to switch them off quickly. ANOTHER SKY TRICK TO TRY Earlier this week, we revealed a clever Sky trick... You can unlock loads of classic games on Sky for free. Just load up your Sky TV, go to the apps menu, and look for Games by It's packed with top games including retro titles like Pac-Man, Breakout, and Tetris. There are kids games too, and quizzes that you can play together as a family. You don't need a special controller. Instead you simply play using your Sky TV remote. The only catch? You'll have to sit through ads – but you won't pay a penny to play. Picture Credit: The Sun / Sky / Tetris And other times, you might want them on but can't remember how to bring them up. Rather than faffing around with settings, just use your voice. You can just ask for Sky to "turn subtitles on" or "turn subtitles off" and it'll happen in an instant. SKY TV VOICE TRICK #6 – FUN FOR KIDS It's summertime, which means many parents will be at home trying to entertain their children. 4 And Sky's telly service is jam-packed with kid-friendly content. If you want to find it all very quickly, simply say "Open Kids section". This will take you straight to a treasure trove of child-friendly telly that Sky has curated.

Shoppers go mad for £20 furniture from B&M that doubles up as organisation for your plants
SHOPPERS are going wild for a £20 item at B&M which doubles as a set of shelves and a stand for your plants. The budget-friendly retailer says that the stocks are low, as customers race to their local stores. 3 B&M is known for its incredible savings and bargains, with its products regularly going viral online. One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the Spaceways 6 Tier Plastic Storage stack in their local store and immediately took to social media to share their find. The huge set of shelves can be ranged in a variety of ways, from three separate stands to one tall stack. It is perfect for storing pictures, plants or books and has dimensions of 38.5 x 33 x 151cm. The shelf comes in black and, according to B&M, it is 'easy' to assemble. The set costs just £20, but, according to B&M, stocks are low. The customer who spotted the item posted their find in Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook and shoppers from across the country have gone wild. One excited Facebook user posted: 'ooop need this for plant pots!!!!' Another said that they loved the original poster's way of setting their shelves up, saying: 'Ooooo I like how you've put it together. Fab idea. I want one now.' Others had creative ideas of their own, with one clever shopper saying: 'This could be good to use as shelving in a shed.' Shoppers are racing to B&M for Molly-Mae's latest collection & there are some incredible scents for less than a fiver The news comes after another wave of B&M's products went viral on social media. The Boucel Barstool in Beige is currently retailing for just £1, instead of the usual price of £20. According to one customer though, only the beige barstool is on sale - meaning fans are racing to shops before it sells out. B&M regularly slashes the price of its products, as it clears out its stock to make room for exciting new products. The Peyton Leather Effect Bench is now half price at £45, down from £90. The Chicago table is currently selling for just £40, after being reduced from £110 - a 63 per cent saving. The set also includes two benches, making it a great choice for fine dining. Asda has launched its luxury table and chair set, with the rattan garden-set. The sell-out product costs £149 and comes in a light, summery design which makes it perfect for enjoying the warmer weather. Meanwhile, Tesco's own rattan-set is retailing for just £16 as it clears its shelves. Originally costing £25, the supermarket has slashed £9 off the cost of the popular garden product. When comparing products, it is important to check the specifications so you buy the item that is best suited for your purposes. COMPARE PRICES FOR THE BEST DEAL JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. 3
