On Sept. 2, The Great British Bake Off officially returned with a new season, but it was the promo pics of co-host Alison Hammond that had fans talking. She has been working on her fitness and health journey behind the scenes as she has spoken about.
‘I’ve got a personal trainer — she’s amazing,” Alison told Closer in May 2025. “She trains me when I can train. If I’m working, I don’t train, I’ll go for a walk. But when I’m at home, I’ll go and have a session with her in the morning, just an hour. I don’t deny myself anything. I eat everything, but in moderation.”
Additionally, a source also told the outlet about Alison’s new healthy eating regimen. “She’s lost an incredible amount of weight. She’s been really focused on what she eats — she's cut down, and she doesn’t drink,” the source said.
Alison revealed that her journey to lose weight was a very personal one related to her mother. She also sharing her opinion on weight loss medication.
“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,” she previously shared with Good Housekeeping UK. “I thought: 'I have to be an adult about this.' The sweets had to stop — and the fatty foods.”
Alison said that while she didn’t use any of the popular weight loss drugs currently on the market, she doesn’t judge anyone who decides to use them.
“I think that, for people who need to use them, they're a good thing — but for me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened,” she told the outlet. “So I haven't wanted to use them, but that's not to say I wouldn't in the future, and I certainly wouldn't look down on anyone who did.”
Per the outlet, Alison now opts for a healthier diet that consists of an immunity-boosting ginger shot and an English breakfast with eggs, bacon, and sausage in the morning — and Caribbean food for lunch, which includes rice, peas, and chicken. Dinner, she said, often features a home-cooked meal such as lasagna.
