Alison Hammond ‘happy’ in her ‘beautiful black skin’

While presenting This Morning alongside Dermot O’Leary in July, Alison admitted she has photos of herself hung up all over her home.

“I’ve got naked pictures everywhere all over my house,” she further revealed, stating that she sees “nothing wrong with it”.

Alison’s comments didn’t go unnoticed and caused a conversation with viewers online. Despite her infectious and hilarious personality, the TV star has still faced scrutiny by trolls.

While participating in an interview for The Observer, Alison was asked whether she believes the backlash she receives has anything to do with her sex or race.

“Or sizeist. Ultimately I don’t care what people think. That sounds like it doesn’t bother me. It does. But I think I’m good enough and it’s me I want to impress. Most people who criticise others don’t love themselves,” Alison said about accepting herself.

“I mean, I’m happy plodding along in my beautiful black skin in my big chubby body.”

The source insisted that Alison getting fitter will better her chances of “wanting to have another child”.
