Yet Alison - who made her debut on Channel 4 show on Friday night alongside her offspring - was the subject of discussion during a recent podcast.
It came after her sister also featured on the series.
Aidan opened up on their connection, as well as his close bond with his late grandmother who lived nearby.
And he told the Spin Justice podcast how he temporarily sought solace at his mother's parent's home when things got stressful in their home.
In a light-hearted comment he said: "When we were in the flat, she [his maternal grandmother] had a house pretty much opposite us, so we could literally leave and run across the road.
"So when my mum was doing my head in, I'd just go to my nan's."
He told how the trio were "very close" before she passed away from lung and liver cancer in January 2020.
Talking of grandparent Maria he said: "She's passed away now, but we were very close all the time - me, my mum and my nan - and that was kind of the little trio."

Grand Designs reject house now worth £3m after cancelling Kevin McCloud visit
Channel 4's Grand Designs rejected a country mansion worth £3 million after they refused to send host Kevin McCloud to visit the property as it was going 'too well' For a quarter of a century, Kevin McCloud has been the face of Channel 4's much-loved renovation series, Grand Designs. The programme showcases the trials and triumphs of individuals as they strive to build their dream homes, documenting every step from design to completion. However, it appears that not all projects make the cut for the show, particularly if they're going too smoothly. The owner of a Yorkshire property has spoken out, claiming that Channel 4 cancelled the show's visit after deciding against featuring the home. According to the Yorkshire Post, the production company behind Grand Designs had identified the construction of Hawksworth's Moor Reservoir in Yorkshire as an ideal project. Despite its breathtaking location and daring architecture, Channel 4 decided against filming the project because "there wasn't enough drama". The former owner of Hawksworth Moor Reservoir, Jonathan, shared his disappointment about Channel 4's decision with the publication, reports the Express. He revealed: "We thought it would go ahead and had even briefed about booking in 'Kevin days' but then got an email saying Channel 4 didn't want to go with the project because they thought it would run too smoothly and wouldn't provide enough drama. "It was definitely a compliment, in a way," he shared, adding, "I spent a number of years restoring a 16th-century farmhouse in Haworth and I liked living there, but I wanted another project and I wanted something different, a bigger challenge. "I've always moved up a level each time I renovated, and this is definitely the pinnacle." Describing the grand estate, the country mansion sprawls across 12 acres and features four en-suite bedrooms, a home cinema, a games room complete with comfy seating and an expansive open-plan kitchen that proudly houses a boardroom-style dining table that seats 14. Further amenities include a separate annex with three more bedrooms, a private gym, a well-appointed office, a modern shower room, and even a kitchen within the garage. Jonathan conceded: "The build went very smoothly, we went over budget, but there was a conscious decision to spend more on the heat recovery and ventilation units and the kitchen. There were no sleepless nights." The Mirror has reached out to Channel 4 for comment. Last month, a Grand Designs property that took two decades to renovate went on the market for £1.5 million, with fans calling it the "perfect" home.

Despite the pressures of being on screen, Laura believes looking good should be a personal choice Body Goals A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton, 43, reveals secret behind incredible figure from 5am workouts to Botox A PLACE in the Sun's Laura Hamilton has revealed the secret behind her incredible figure, from 5am workouts to Botox. Presenter Laura, 43, says early-morning gym sessions and weight training are now a regular part of her routine – and she's even built a gym in her home to stay on track. 6 A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton has revealed the secret behind her incredible figure, from 5am workouts to Botox Credit: @curvykate 6 She spoke to The Sun at last week's TRIC Awards Credit: Splash Speaking to The Sun at last week's TRIC Awards, she said: 'I was in the gym yesterday and I do lots of weights. I know loads of women in their mid-forties who are always talking about weights massively. "I was always into cardio, but since I ran the London Marathon, I've got more into weights.' Laura, who shares son Rocco, 11, and daughter Tahlia, 10, with her ex-husband Alex Goward, often squeezes in workouts before the school run. She said: 'I sometimes get up at 5am to do so. My friends and I joke that we're in the 5am club. I don't do it every day, but most mornings.' As she's moved into her forties, Laura says she's become more conscious about skincare and wellness – taking collagen and learning routines from her 10-year-old daughter. The TV personality said: 'She's so into skincare – I take tips off her, because I was never like that as a teenager.' Channel 4 star Laura also confirmed she has had cosmetic tweakments, admitting: 'Oh absolutely. I've had Botox before, and there's lots of people who do it, so whatever suits you. If you want to do something, then do it for you.' And despite the pressures of being on screen, Laura believes looking good should be a personal choice. She gushed: 'I love watching things on Instagram where you'll see someone who has had work done, and someone who hasn't. Whether you're on television or not, it's completely up to you.' Back in 2022, Laura opened up about being hailed a "pin-up" and how she often received X-rated messages. A Place In The Sun's Laura Hamilton stuns in a bikini after revealing she's cruelly trolled by claims she's had a secret boob job "I get some nice complimentary messages from people," she explained to The Daily Star during a Facebook Live. She then revealed that she was sent a rather X-rated snap. Laura explained at the time how she was sent a photo of one of her followers in a face mask, adding: "But let's just say it wasn't of their face." Speaking of being a pin-up, Laura gushed over how it's "really nice" to be dubbed as a "national beauty".

TV tonight: Bob Geldof, Bono and George Bush talk Live Aid at 40
9pm, BBC Two 'I didn't think we had a deserving No 1; we had a pop single … but it had to work.' How did a simple song lead to a star-studded Wembley concert and inspire a movement that raised tens of millions of pounds for Africa? For Live Aid's 40th anniversary, this series speaks to instigator Bob Geldof, plus Bono and Phil Collins, along with former world leaders George Bush, Tony Blair and Olusegun Obasanjo, and Birhan Woldu – the now grown-up little girl in Ethiopia who became the image of the famine. Hollie Richardson 8pm, Channel 4 There's biting off more than you can chew, and then there's adopting two polar bears from Sweden. Jamie Oliver's BFF takes on that colossal task in this new series, which will surely have viewers panicking. None will be more nervy than Jimmy's wife Michaela, who looks horrified every time she's on camera. Hannah J Davies 9pm, Channel 4 This new two-parter shadows Cambridgeshire police as they zero in on a possible serial rapist operating in Peterborough. Their suspect is a fixture on the nightclub scene who hosts afterparties in his home hot tub. But when he is arrested and refuses to talk, the team must find other lines of inquiry to advance the case. Graeme Virtue 9pm, Channel 5 Vicky McClure stars in this psychological thriller, which previously streamed on Paramount+. She plays Emma, a successful lawyer and mother of two with an idyllic life. But as she turns 40, she becomes plagued by insomnia and bad dreams – could it have anything to do with her mother's mental health problems? HR 9pm, Sky Documentaries Call it 'blitz spirit', if you like. This third and final episode of the series explores how individual 7/7 survivors and London as a whole returned to everyday life in the weeks following the bombing. Meanwhile, a second attempted attack sparks a nationwide manhunt and the true architect of 7/7 is finally uncovered. Ellen E Jones 10pm, Channel 4 It's been an epic concluding season for the hit dystopian drama, but the Emmy really should go to Aunt Lydia's perennially quivering bottom lip. Gilead has finally fallen (or so it seems) – but what does this mean next for June? There's a lot to iron out and a happy ending was never on the cards for this tale. HR Die Hard 2, 10:30pm, BBC One Is Die Hard 2 the best Die Hard film? Absolutely not. Judged against the elegance of its predecessor, this seems as if it was made by crayon-wielding toddlers. However, once you critically disengage, it is a concentrated dose of sheer fun, full of hilariously gratuitous swearing – 'No pictures, you pinko bitch,' is a personal favourite, but you will have your own – and a disregard for human life so comprehensive that it borders on the psychopathic. That Bruce Willis retains his unstoppable charisma while murdering an airport full of baddies is testament to the man's talent. Stuart Heritage Cycling: Giro d'Italia Women, 11.45am, TNT Sports 2 The first stage: a 13.6km route around Bergamo.
