This Morning's Alison Hammond discusses relationship with new boyfriend for first time
This Morning presenter Alison Hammond has discussed her relationship with her new partner for the first time.
The Great British Bake Off host has confirmed she is in a relationship, though the star keeps her romantic life private.
Discussing World Kindness Day on This Morning, Alison was moved to tears by a segment that saw her open up about her first date with her boyfriend for the first time.
Alongside co-host Cat Deeley, the duo spoke to members of the public about kind moments they had experienced.

One viewer, named Anita, spoke about meeting Alison during a Pullman train journey and praised the TV personality for making her "feel so special".
"My husband was the guard [on the train], and I had been invited on because I had just finished chemo and radiotherapy," Anita explained to the hosts.
"You never rushed me out, you asked me everything I'd gone through, how much weight I'd lost."
Alison recalled meeting Anita, saying the viewer came into her cabin area during the train ride.

Anita continued: "Alison, I know you're from the Midlands, we're such special people. We've always got a smile and a kind word.
"I'm like yourself, I'm kind, but sometimes you do get hurt being kind. But you, Alison, I can't tell you what you did that day."
Alison remarked on the kind thing that Anita had done without even knowing it - not remarking on who Alison was travelling with that day.
"Anita, what's lovely about you, you've haven't mentioned who I was with," she said.
"That was my very first date with my boyfriend. You met my boyfriend before anybody else knew about it."

Alison batted off engagement rumours earlier this year after being spotted wearing a sparkling ring while on the ITV show.
Speaking with co-host Dermot O'Leary during the show's showbiz section, Dermot pointed out that Alison had been wearing the ring on her wedding finger.
"It's just some cheap ring that I got from, probably Primark, one of those cheap rings. It's nice, isn't it?" she said.
"Let me swap it over, because we don't want those rumours going out there, do you know what I mean? Not just yet. Maybe one day, who knows."
This Morning airs Mondays through Fridays on ITV1 and ITVX.
