The presenter of Good Morning Britain, Alison Hammond, has finally revealed she is now ready for marriage. Hammond made this disclosure at the Ethnicity Awards in London on Thursday evening. She was quoted to have said she is ready for her boyfriend to “pop the question. Hammond has been dating the unnamed man for two years but kept the relationship under wraps. Discussing her love life with MailOnline, she said: ‘There is someone special, and if he wants to pop the question, he can pop away.’
Despite featuring on the winner’s list just days after claiming her first National Television Awards with daytime magazine show This Morning, the presenter – a former cinema usher – admits she still struggles to acknowledge her own fame.
Hammond, 47, took home the award for Host of the Year and wore a sparkling black gown for the occasion.
Speaking of fame, Hammond said: “I still don’t think I’ve made it. I’m so proud. I am so proud. But I’ve been proud of all my life. Like, I’ve not ever felt like not proud. I always feel proud of the stuff that I’m doing. I’ve never been disappointed in anything that I’ve done.”
She added: “But it’s good though, isn’t it? Because you just want to keep going, and it depends what I see as having made it. Maybe I see it as being married, but I’m not married yet, so maybe I haven’t made it yet.”
In May, Hammond revealed that she was in a relationship after her co-host Dermot O’Leary let it slip while they were on air.
O’Leary said at the time: “You’re not available anymore, are you, but if you were – jeez, what a catch!”
In June, Hammond spoke of the relationship further on Lorraine, after host Lorraine Kelly said: “Congratulations I know, because Dermot revealed it to everybody, cause you were trying to keep this lovely romance under wraps.”
Hammond responded with: “You don’t want to put pressure on anything do you?”
