This Morning star Alison Hammond appeared on ITV’s Loose Women on Friday afternoon with Aidan

Alison Hammond and her son Aidan sat down together for their first ever joint interview on Friday’s Loose Women, leaving fans touched as they delved into their lives.

The dynamic duo appeared on the ITV chat show to discuss their new travel show, Alison Hammond: Florida Unpacked, where viewers will be treated to Alison conquering the sunny climes of Florida with Aidan, providing escapism, a dose of sunshine, and top-notch travel advice to make our winter a little brighter.

However, conversations quickly switched to Alison’s stellar TV career when panellist Judi Love quizzed: “It’s just lovely as a mum to see you with your son. I remember we did an awards show you mentioned that you were sorry about the times you haven’t been there for Aidan, how did that make you feel when you saw your mum do that speech?”

Back in December, Alison received the Role Model Award at the MBCC in Birmingham. The This Morning star gave a touching speech as she accepted her award – declaring all her hard work had been for Aidan.

She said at the time: “I love you so much son and I’m sorry I haven’t always been there but I’ll be honest with you, the reason I was doing it, was only for you”, reports the Liverpool Echo.

As they reminisced about this special memory on Loose Women, Aidan responded, saying: “Yeah it was nice, it was a nice feeling as obviously I know everything she does is for me. It was just nice.”

This prompted a laugh from Alison as she chimed in with: “Be honest… you weren’t bothered that I wasn’t around. You were like: ‘Thank God she’s not here, thank goodness! Oh, she’s coming back again now? Here she is again, oh here we go!'”

Alison’s new show, Florida Unpacked, will be gracing our screens every weekday starting Monday 27 Jan at 6.30pm on BBC2 and BBC iPlayer.

In discussions about bringing her son along for work on the series, Alison revealed: “It was Aidan’s first time filming, so it felt like I had a work experience apprentice with me. It was eye-opening to see how he approached it, and I realised he has the same work ethic as me – early mornings, late nights – he handled it really well! I was quite surprised, to be honest. You know how teenagers can be, but he was great!”

Talking about her son joining her travels and whether he thought it ‘uncool’, she explained: “Not at all! He absolutely loves it. He’s always asking, ‘Can I come?’ The other day, he was saying how much fun we have together I bring the lols, I am the life and soul, and he realises that. He’s been on plenty of trips with his friends, but he always says he has the best time with me.”
