The 50-year-old presenter proudly showed herself in the weights section of the gym, demonstrating how far she has come since starting her fitness journey.

Ellis and Alison posed together as the TV star told him: ‘You never looked down on me and this I will always be grateful for. So happy you can still check in on me and push me’

Reposting the video to her own page, Alison couldn’t hide her gratitude.

“Massive thank you to the incredible @ellisgatfield who started my whole fitness journey,” she wrote.
“I will never forget the time you put into me and how gentle and kind you were when I was struggling. You have made my life so much easier by simple changes and kindness I will never forget.

“You never looked down on me and this I will always be grateful for. So happy you can still check in on me, push me and keep me accountable.”

Over the past five years, Alison has shed an astonishing 11 stone after discovering she was pre-diabetic — a wake-up call that prompted her to overhaul her lifestyle with healthier eating and regular exercise.

In a previous interview, Alison explained how she manages to stay on track while working on The Great British Bake Off, surrounded by irresistible cakes.

“I eat a bit of Paul and Prue’s after they’ve finished judging,” she admitted.
“I only try the ones that got a handshake from Paul or the ones that won. If the judges aren’t impressed, I’m not trying it.”

The star has also been open about rejecting weight-loss jabs, choosing instead to rely on training and moderation.

At her heaviest, Alison weighed 28 stone. Speaking to Heat, she revealed:
“I’ve got a personal trainer — she’s amazing. She trains me when I can train. If I’m working, I don’t train, I’ll go for a walk. But when I’m at home, I’ll do a session in the morning, about an hour, maybe four days a week.”

When it comes to food, Alison insists she hasn’t banned anything completely.

“I don’t deny myself anything. I eat everything — just in moderation.”

She has previously explained her hesitation around weight-loss injections, telling Good Housekeeping UK that scare stories had left her frightened.

“For people who need them, they’re a good thing,” she said.
“But as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened. I wouldn’t rule it out in the future, but I would never judge anyone who uses them.”

Alison has also shared the deeply personal reason behind her determination to change. Her mother Maria died in January 2020 from lung and liver cancer, and she was living with type 2 diabetes.

“My mum was worried for me,” Alison said.
“So when I found out I was pre-diabetic, it was frightening. I thought, ‘I have to be an adult about this.’ The sweets had to stop — and the fatty foods.”

Today, her routine includes seeing her personal trainer twice a week, keeping weights in her bedroom, walking, stretching and even doing yoga — simple habits that have completely transformed her life.
