This Morning star Alison Hammond was previously left wiping away the tears as she recalled a time in her life when she was unable to pay her mortgage – despite her fame.
Since shooting into the spotlight in 2002 thanks to her appearance on Big Brother, Alison has become one of TV’s go-to presenters. From stints on This Morning to The Great British Bake Off and For The Love Of Dog, which repeats today (September 29), Alison has kept busy.
However, it hasn’t always been plain sailing for Brummie fave Alison.

This Morning star Alison Hammond on money issues in her early fame
In an interview from August this year, Alison opened up about when she went through a period of financial turmoil, after being unable to bag any work.
“There was a time when I couldn’t pay my mortgage and I was really famous,” she told The Guardian.
This was in 2007, when Alison was a reporter on This Morning. Despite this gig, when she was left unused by the show, she had no other work in the pipeline.
