Looking dapper holding open the door of a sleek black Ferrari for his mum, Alison Hammond’s 16-year-old son Aidan appears to have inherited his mother’s natural ability to work the camera.
“I thought he might be nervous, but he’s like a duck to water,” says the 46-year-old This Morning presenter, as she and Aidan join hello! for their first photoshoot together, to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Alison has won a whole new legion of fans since she took on the coveted job of copresenting This Morning’s Friday shows with Dermot O’Leary. And, she tells us, it was Aidan who encouraged her to take up the exciting opportunity.
“He was like: ‘Go for it, Mum. They’ve offered you the job, go and enjoy it.’ He’s amazing like that. I don’t know what I’d do without him.”
