Alison Hammond’s personal trainer reveals the secrets to her 11st weight loss in video of her five year journey as This Morning star gushes ‘you have made my life so much easier’

Alison Hammond’s personal trainer has revealed the secrets to her incredible 11st weight loss in a clip shared to Instagram on Sunday.

The This Morning host, 50, showed off her incredible five-year transformation as she took to the weight section to give her fans an insight into her workout routine.

The clip details some of Alison’s favourite moments in her fitness journey as her longtime PT Ellis Gatfield shared a clip of her using resistance bands to sit up and out of a chair.

It then progresses to Alison and her PT enjoying a weighted cycle as they rode around the streets of their local area.

Alison reposted the video as she gushed about how grateful she was to Ellis: ‘Massive thank you to the incredible @ellisgatfield who started my whole fitness journey,’ the TV star wrote.

‘I will never forget the time you put into me and how gentle and kind you was when I was struggling. You have made my life so much easier by simple changes and kindness I will never forget.’

‘You never looked down on me and this I will always be grateful for. So happy you can still check in on me and push me and make me accountable.’

Alison has lost 11 stone over the past five years, prompted by the discovery that she was pre-diabetic – a situation she has reversed with healthier food choices and workouts.

In an interview with Daily Mail, she discussed how she stays trim while surrounded by cakes on The Great British Bake Off.

She said: ‘I eat a bit of Paul and Prue’s after they’ve finished judging. I only try the ones that got a handshake from Paul or ones that won. If the judges aren’t impressed, I’m not trying it.’

Alison revealed how she managed to lose the pounds without the assistance of weight-loss jabs, giving an insight into her exercise plan with her personal trainer.

The TV personality, who weighed 28 stone at her heaviest, told Heat: ‘I’ve got a personal trainer – she’s amazing, 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. It might be four days a week.’

She also revealed her approach to her diet, saying she hasn’t cut anything out completely but focuses on ‘moderation’.

‘I don’t deny myself anything, I eat everything, but in moderation,’ she added.

Alison previously told how weight loss jabs weren’t for her, opting against using them because she was ‘frightened’ of ‘scary’ stories surrounding them.

She told Good Housekeeping UK: ‘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.’

The presenter added: ‘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.’

Alison also revealed how her mother Maria, who died in January 2020 from lung and liver cancer, influenced her decision to overhaul her lifestyle.

She shared: ‘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.

‘I thought: ‘I have to be an adult about this’. The sweets had to stop – and the fatty foods.

‘Twice a week, I see my personal trainer, and I have a couple of weights in my bedroom. I walk, I stretch, and sometimes I do a bit of yoga.’
