Inside Tom Allen's love life with actor boyfriend who is his 'first ever relationship'
Tom Allen has been a regular on TV screens for the past few years, but away from the cameras he is in a relationship with actor Tom Allen, one of the UK's favourite presenters, is in a relationship with a well-known figure. The comedian has become a familiar face on television over recent years, thanks to appearances on programmes such as Live at the Apollo, Bake Off: The Professionals and 8 Out of 10 Cats. In addition to these roles, Tom also hosts BBC's The Apprentice: You're Fired. At present, he is co-hosting ITV 's Cooking with the Stars alongside Emma Willis, which has just kicked off its fifth series. However, away from the small screen, Tom is happily in a relationship with his boyfriend Alfie Garston. Alfie is an actor and events organiser who works freelance as a host and performer for the Walt Disney Company. His role at Disney has taken him across the globe, including stints in Paris, Tokyo and London, where he presents the annual Halloween and Christmas Parties, reports the Mirror. He has also previously worked as an actor for the Glad Rags Production Company. Speaking about Alfie - who Tom is believed to have started dating in 2021 - Tom disclosed that this is his "first ever relationship". In a 2022 interview with The Independent, he said: "Alfie's been amazing. He's a very kind person and calming for me. He's very grounded. This is my first ever relationship and it just calms you down a bit." Back in 2019, Tom shared with iNews that he had never been in a relationship before. He commented: "I used to think that was a bit of a scandal in itself, an unusual thing. "But I've met more and more people who are like that. There are people who find it very easy to get into relationships and I've always just not." Tom and Alfie, who share a home in Bromley, frequently post glimpses of their life on social media - including sunshine-filled holidays overseas. The pair have also stepped out together publicly on numerous occasions, and were recently spotted at Mel B's wedding in July. Furthermore, back in March, Tom set tongues wagging about a potential engagement after viewers tuning into Comic Relief noticed what appeared to be an engagement ring. One viewer pondered on X at the time: "Is that an engagement ring I spotted on @tomallencomedy? Congratulations if true. Alfie seems such a lovely man. #comicrelief".
