Peter Andre said Alison Hammond is “looking amazing” in his newspaper column, praise which has come after it emerged the charismatic This Morning presenter lost 13 stone
Peter Andre fans praised the singer – dubbing him a “great bloke – after he gushed over Alison Hammond’s incredible weight loss.
The This Morning presenter, 50, has shed 13 stone following a pre-diabetic diagnosis and losing her mother Maria to type 2 diabetes. Alison, who once tipped the scales at 28 stone, has been widely praised for her transformation, and received some congratulations from 52-year-old Peter.
Although Peter has admitted to using weight loss jabs in the past, it is understood Alison, a regular presenter on This Morning since 2021, has not used such injections. Noting this, Peter wrote in his column: “Alison Hammond is looking amazing and she’s spoken about not using weight-loss jabs. She obviously feels fantastic and I don’t think it’s anyone else’s business when it comes to the injections – we shouldn’t force people into discussing it.”
And the media personality, born in Harrow, London but raised in Australia, has been lauded for his kind words. Writing on Facebook, one fan said: “He is a great bloke and the best dad to his children.” Another said: “He is saying all nice things about her.” A further user posted: “It sounds like he is commending her and rightly so, she has done amazing.”

One fan shared: “He’s a lovely, genuine person” while another posted on Facebook: “It’s nice he is praising her, saying how well she has done.” They also praise Alison for her weight loss journey, which she says started in 2020 after her mother’s death. Alison said she enlisted the help of a personal trainer and adopted a more watchful approach to her diet.
And recently, the TV presenter, born in Birmingham, told reporters she “feels happy within myself” as she reflected on her transformation. Peter recognised this in his column, adding: “Alison is a good friend who has put the work in and done it the hard way, which is impressive. But I’d never judge anyone for taking the injections – it’s none of my business.”
Alison also told journalists in the recent interview that she has moved away from high-fat, high-sugar foods. Speaking to Women’s Health magazine, the former actress said: “My mum had type 2 diabetes and she was worried for me, so when I then found out that I was pre-diabetic, that was frightening.”
Alison’s mum, Maria, died in 2020, following a journey with cancer. Writing in her memoir, Alison, who currently also presents Great British Bake Off and For the Love of Dogs, explained her mother “used to sing,” and that the “house would be filled with laughter. People would come over, she’d cook.”
