It was a joint bash for Alison and Aiden (alisonhammond55/Instagram)"He watches TikTok and YouTube, and he’s a gamer. I have to go up to him and say, 'Babes, watch the TV!' and then he’ll put the television on and watch it.
"Occasionally I’ll go home and he’ll say, 'I watched you today Mum, you were really good.' I say, 'How much did you watch then? Two minutes?!'"
Alison has been on This Morning for 20 years and is a huge hit with her bubbly Brummie charm.
Speaking about her stellar career, she said: "It’s amazing. I’ve been at This Morning now for 20 years. It’s an absolute treat to go to work.
