Alison Hammond teases major career change as she eyes up ambitious new project away from This Morning
Alison Hammond teased a major career change as she opened up about her up ambitious new project away from This Morning.
The 50-year-old, who usually presents the ITV show every Friday with Dermot O'Leary, 52, appeared on Friday's episode of Loose Women to catch up with the Loose ladies.
Alison chatted to Kaye Adams, 62, GK Barry, 25, Judi Love, 45, and Nadia Sawalha, 60, about a number of things.
The telly legend opened up about what she'd like to do in the future, and it involves helping other children.
Alison said: 'I'm aware that youngsters do look towards me.
'In the future I do want to give back, my one dream, in my head, one dream, is to do a drama school, that kids do not have to pay for.

'I want to call it Presenterama.'
The panel were amazed at her idea and Nadia said: 'You're going to do it, you've said it.'
Alison replied: 'Eventually that's what I want to do.'
The TV host shot to fame in 2002 when she took part in Big Brother.
After taking part in the popular reality show, she landed herself a number of different TV gigs.
She joined the This Morning team the very same year as a reporter and presenter.
But she landed her role as main host in 2021 when she took over from Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford's Friday instalments.
Most recently she's presented Alison Hammond's Florida Unpacked, Alison Hammond's Big Weekend, Alison Hammond: For the Love of Dogs and The Great British Bake Off.
Chat soon turned to Alison's son Aiden, 20, (pictured) who she shares with her ex Noureddine Boufaied
Alison has taken part in various other TV shows including Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity MasterChef, Celebs Go Dating and Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
Chat soon turned to Alison's son Aiden, 20, who she shares with her ex Noureddine Boufaied.
GK mentioned that there had been rumours he was going to enter the Love Island villa.
'Absolutely not,' Alison said.
'I'm an advisor, absolutely not.
'Do you know what it is, he has auditioned for that show, they wanted him for that show, I advised him, do it later on.
'If you need to do it Aiden, do it later on. When you are a little bit older, you've got to remember he was only 19 at the time.
'I just think that it's too young.'
It comes after Alison left fans in hysterics as she showed off her pretend baby bump following rumours she and toyboy boyfriend David Putman were expecting.
The This Morning host took to her Instagram and joked her '50 year old womb couldn't take it' before dancing wildly as she recreated Meghan Markle's now viral video where she twerked in an attempt to induce daughter Lilibet's birth in 2021.
Alison, who went public with the 27-year-old Russian masseur and model in April last year, sported a huge fake belly under her figure hugging dress as she showcased her moves while dancing to Starrkeisha's viral song Baby Mama.
She captioned the post: 'Lots of AI stories online about me being pregnant,'
'I can confirm I am not having a baby as I'm not sure my 50 year old womb could take it . However I do think we should all dance like Meghan!'
