Alison Hammond's son Aidan reveals he'd flee home after disputes with star
The 20-year-old, who Hammond shares with her former fiancé Noureddine Boufaied, features alongside the This Morning presenter on the latest series of Celebrity Gogglebox.
Speaking on the Spin Justice podcast, Aidan said: 'When we were in the flat, she [his grandmother] 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' he explained.
Hammond's mother Maria died of lung and liver cancer in January 2020. The 20-year-old said he and his grandmother shared a 'very, very close' bond throughout his life.
'She's passed away now, but we were very close all the time – me, my mum and my nan – and that was kind of the little trio,' he said.
Hammond and her son will be joined by the presenter's sister, Sandra, on the new series of Celebrity Gogglebox, who the TV star has described as 'fabulous'.
She said in a statement ahead of the series: 'I'm so excited to be doing Celebrity Gogglebox with my son Aidan. 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 Sandra is getting involved as well. Expect laughs, eye rolls and lots of commentary, classic Hammond style!'
The 50-year-old This Morning star is now dating 27-year-old masseuse David Putman, who she says is 'so mature and sensible' despite their significant age gap.
Of Putman's relationship with her son, the presenter previously told the Parenting Hell podcast: 'When they met, he really liked him and thought he was lovely – and thank goodness for that! Normally, Aidan hates anyone I date.'
Celebrity Gogglebox airs on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4.

Police have ‘proportionate and considered' plan ahead of Glasgow Kneecap gig
Police Scotland say they have a 'proportionate and considered policing plan' ahead of Kneecap's gig in Glasgow, which replaces their cancelled slot at the TRNSMT festival. Kneecap were axed from the line-up of TRNSMT in the city amid a row over an investigation by counter-terror police into rapper Mo Chara, who is accused of terrorism offences related to a Hezbollah flag he allegedly held up on stage. The satirical Belfast rap group, who perform in Irish, have been outspoken critics of the war in Gaza and said the prosecution – following an investigation by the Met Police – is linked to their views on Palestine. TRNSMT cancelled Kneecap's performance at the end of May over safety concerns by Police Scotland. On Tuesday, they are set to perform a sold-out gig at the O2 Academy in Glasgow, days before TRNSMT begins on Friday. As well as Kneecap, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar are also performing in Glasgow on Tuesday. Police Scotland say they will aim to minimise disruption in the city. In May, First Minister John Swinney urged for TRNSMT to cancel the performance on July 11, saying that 'organisers of TRNSMT have got to consider that issue.' Mo Chara, also known as Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged under the name Liam O'Hanna by the Metropolitan Police in May, over the alleged display of a Hezbollah flag at a gig, and appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. The furore led to calls from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch for Glastonbury to cancel a performance from the Belfast rappers on June 28, which the festival organisers did not do. Despite being cancelled from TRNSMT, Kneecap are still due to perform scheduled shows at 2000trees rock festival on July 10, Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on August 15 and Belfast Vital on August 29 – nine days after O hAnnaidh's next court appearance. At the last hearing, prosecutor Michael Bisgrove said: 'It's not about Mr O hAnnaidh's support for the people of Palestine or his criticism of Israel. 'He's well within his rights to voice his opinions and solidarity, as is anybody else. 'The allegation in this case is a wholly different thing and deals with a video recording showing that, in November of last year, Mr O hAnnaidh wore and displayed the flag of Hezbollah, a proscribed terrorist organisation, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah'.' Kneecap have said they have 'never supported' Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned in the UK. Superintendent Paul Douglas said: 'We are aware of a number of events and concerts due to take place in the Greater Glasgow area in the week beginning Monday July 7 2025. 'A proportionate and considered policing plan is in place within the city and we are working with a number of stakeholders to ensure the safety of all those attending these events and where possible minimise disruption to the people of Glasgow.'

Why Ashley Iaconetti Says Going From 1 Kid to 2 Is ‘So Much Harder' Than Being a New Mom
According to Ashley Iaconetti, nothing can prepare a person for being a parent of two — not even parenthood itself. 'So many people told us that zero to one was going to be the hardest, and we definitely find one to two so much harder,' Iaconetti, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, July 3, while discussing Chicco's first-ever potty training line of products. 'We were saying that it seems like your lifestyle, like, maybe changes more from zero to one,' she continued. 'But like, the chaos is definitely the one to two.' Iaconetti and husband Jared Haibon welcomed their second child, a son, on July 22, 2024. 'The Bachelor' Alum Ashley Iaconetti's Quotes About 'Gender Disappointment' After 2 Sons 'Say hello to Hayden Cruise Haibon. He was born at 2:29 p.m. on July 22, 2024, and weighed 8 lbs., 7 oz. at INOVA Fairfax Hospital,' the Bachelor alums told People at the time. (The pair also share son Dawson, born in 2022.) 'Baby is healthy and so is Mama! Seeing Dawson meet his little brother for the first time was as precious as we always imagined the moment would be,' the couple continued. 'Dawson is full of love and kept petting Hayden.' Nearly a year into life as a mom of two, Iaconetti says the transition is ongoing. 'It's so hard because, like, yesterday, Dawson wanted to play outside and we [had] just come home [from] the grocery store and Hayden hadn't eaten for hours,' Iaconetti told Us on Thursday about a recent moment that highlighted how difficult the transition from one child to two can really be. 'I was, like, so stressed because there's just one of those torn moments where it's, like, I want to — my kid so sweet,' she continued. 'He wants to play football outside with me on a summer night, but then I'm thinking about the other one in there who's about to start freaking out. I know if I don't make him dinner right now and then, yeah — it's just, like, this emotional pull where you want to have the undivided attention and just, like, love equally and have the quality time with both of them.' Iaconetti went on to explain that as a mother of two she 'always feel torn,' especially because a 'first child' is always going to 'have this emotional, emotional pull on you.' 'They're so cognizant of what's going on,' she added. Despite the difficult transition, Iaconetti says her firstborn has embraced his big brother role. 'He's been very good since the very beginning,' she said. 'It was just unbelievably cute, the way that he just took to him. Like, he was holding him week one. He is very affectionate, and he's never really been annoyed with Hayden.' Ashley Iaconetti Details 'Chill' Labor: I Wish 'Every Woman Had' the Experience That I Had' She added, '1,000 percent Dawson is Hayden's favorite person, and I love that. That's what I wanted. I'm like, 'Please like your brother even more than me.' He thinks he's so funny. He just loves getting attention from him. And Dawson just kind of, like, thinks of him as his doll.' While navigating life as a mom of two has been challenging, Iaconetti said tackling the often difficult art of potty training was a relatively breeze thanks, in part, to Chicco's official, new product line of potty training products. The Toddler Training Toilet empowers 2- and 3-year-olds to 'take the lead with a realistic flushing sound that reinforces routine,' while the compact, travel-friendly 3-in-1 Potty Training System 'serves first as a potty and then transforms into a toilet topper and step stool once little one is ready to take on the real toilet.' 'Potty training, to me … it was fine. It wasn't as difficult,' she said. 'You know what I'm dreading more? Getting rid of the pacifier.'

Huishan Zhang's latest line channels socialites and sophistication.
Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang For his Resort 2026 collection, London-based designer Huishan Zhang looked to one of the most infamous New York socialites, Nan Kempner. A woman known for her presence and influence in fashion and society, she was a generation-defining socialite who's circle included the chic and and the cultured, from Yves Saint Laurent (he once described her having 'the body of a hanger' which she took as the highest compliment), to Diana Vreeland, Bill Blass, and fellow uptown girl Babe Paley. Nan Kempner and Kenneth Jay Lane, preview, Christie's auction house, New York, New York, 1989. (Photo by) Getty Images She exuded elegance but she wasn't without a rebellious streak, famously dining at a brasserie in just her Saint Laurent blazer after being told trousers weren't allowed. It was defiance but Nan made it chic, and it's exactly this spirit that Zhang channels in his latest collection. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang Expect his signature head-turning silhouettes, sophistication and feminine strength, as well as embroidery that serves as both intricate decoration and armor. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang Here, Zhang talks about his latest collection, from muses to couture mastery, structure to softness, and eternal elegance. Huishan Zhang: For me, Nan's beauty truly embodies a natural sophistication that is paired with a rebellious spirit that is totally unapologetic yet so refined. This is what really sets the tone for this collection. We can't talk about Nan without mentioning that iconic moment of her removing her Saint Laurent trousers and nonchalantly wearing just the jacket to dine at a brasserie. Her confidence is assertive but with no intention to intimidate. That's exactly the spirit that I wanted to capture for Resort 26. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang HZ: Elegance versus rebellion is a key theme that runs through this collection. Nan's rebellion was never loud or vulgar but always quietly confident and effortlessly elegant. That was the energy I wanted to convey in this collection and in the clothes. From the strength of the tailoring and structure of the tweed sets, and subversiveness of our faux leather that is balanced by the sensuality of the embroidered slip dresses and the softness and fluidity of the evening wear. It's this idea of the elements that contrast harmoniously coinciding together. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: How did you approach the tension between masculine tailoring and feminine detail? HZ: It goes back to this interplay between softness and structure. I wanted to build a synergy between the juxtaposition of masculine tailoring and feminine sensuality. The silhouette in the collection is defined by the tension between fluidity and form. Structure builds the core of this collection, and the fluid fabrics, delicate sheer layering and intricate embellishments gives character and emotion. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: The embroidery is described as both armour and adornment, which look reflects this the most? HZ: Look 3 is a good reflection of this notion. The embroidery and embellishment on the sensual sheer soft slip skirt adds a decadent and decorative element, but it also creates a layer of weight and structure that accentuates the silhouette and acts as a protective cage-like armour that shields the lower body. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: How does the Resort 2026 collection connect to what you've done before and where you're going? HZ: For me it's about creating a design language that consistently continues to empower confidence in femininity, and to reinforce the strength of quiet elegance. For Resort 2026, I wanted to make the identity and portrait of our woman more vivid and assertive, and how she dresses and what she wears is just a natural extension of her character. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: What's one detail in this collection that people might miss but that means a lot to you? HZ: The fabrication in all the tailoring pieces in this collection has elasticity in them, which you will not be aware of from just the images. Although the cuts are structured and tailored in its silhouette, the stretch in the fabric allows for movement and comfort. It's important for me that the woman wearing my collections feels confident and can approach her every day with ease. The feeling of restraint and restriction in clothing kills one's confidence completely. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: What's one rule of elegant dressing that always guides your approach? HZ: The one rule to elegant dressing is that it needs to feel natural and not imposed. For me, true elegance comes from within, and the clothing and how your dress should just effortlessly compliment that. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang See more on
