Torn Alison 'CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO LOVES'

As Alison Hammond prepares for her festive break, insiders say she is worried about her relationship

- 

She's been smitten with her Russian toyboy masseur boyfriend David Putman since going public with him in April last year - but insiders say Alison Hammond is now torn over rushing into a wedding because she fears upsetting her son, Aidan.

The TV presenter, 50 - who met David, 28, in December 2023 after booking a massage therapy session with him - is a single mum to Aidan, 20, and is thought to be worried that he might feel like he is being 'replaced'.

So in love

A source said, 'Alison is head over heels in love with David, and she knows that he would like to get married next year, but she also loves Aidan more than anything in the world, and wouldn't do anything that could affect their unbreakable bond.

'She doesn't want to rush things because she doesn't want Aidan to feel replaced in any way. No-one could be closer to him than her, and he's always been her complete world. She would never jeopardise that. But David doesn't see why there needs to be a delay. He'd love to marry Alison and properly settle down with her. She feels caught in some ways between the two loves of her life.'

Alison - who has had two failed engagements, with Noureddine Boufaied and Jamie Savage, and split from landscape gardener Ben Hawkins in 2023 - has been open about her dedication to Aidan.
