'It's lovely to see their real relationships'

Alison Hammond talks about getting the most out of interviews and her new BBC One series, Alison Hammond's Big Weekend

- 

Alison Hammond is known for doing celebrity interviews where she sometimes has as little as five minutes to get to know her subjects.

But if you've been watching the 50-year-old on ITV's This Morning and Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off-which she co-presents-you would know how her warmth, curiosity, and bubbly personality helps to bring out some of the not-so-well-known parts of her interviewees.

So, imagine what she will do with Alison Hammond's Big Weekend.

In the six-part series, coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer, Hammond spends quality time with some of the biggest celebrities in the UK.

Hammond will ask the questions viewers are desperate to know, as she gains exclusive access to the stars' personal lives, history and homes.

The first episode features former Little Mix singer-songwriter Perrie Edwards, 31, who welcomes Hammond to her South Shields home and gets vulnerable about becoming a mother, her upbringing, fame, and health.
