ALISON Hammond has sparked new speculation that her romance with a toyboy lover has ended.
While Alison typically keeps her private life away from the public eye, she shocked fans earlier this year by sharing her new love interest.

David Putnam, a 29-year-old model and body therapist, has been seen on a string of romantic dates with the This Morning host, who is 20 years older than him.
However, in recent weeks it seems like they’re spending more and more time apart.
Last month, to celebrate his birthday, David went on a “dream trip” to Lake Como – without Alison – re-enacting his James Bond dream complete with a speed boat.
Now, in a new Q+A, Alison Hammond swerved any questions about David that were asked.
Instead, the bubbly TV personality started joking around with her fanbase.
When asked “where do you see yourself in five years?”, she thought before smirking: “I’ll be 54!”
In another, she was asked if she was happy and she coyly responded: “Happiness comes from within”.
Despite the age gap, the This Morning star was said to be “happier than ever” with her new partner just a month ago, following a “turbulent love life”.
She has told pals that she and David were enjoying their romance – her first relationship since splitting from landscape gardener Ben Hawkins.
However, it was noted by a friend of his family that David’s parents didn’t approve of the match due to their strict Orthodox background.
One pal revealed: “She thinks Alison is way too old for David and doesn’t like all the attention her TV fame has brought to her son.
“She’s uncomfortable that her son is with someone who has so much more financial power than him.
“Olga’s traditional values don’t sit well with their relationship.
“She’s told him in no uncertain terms that he must end it.”
However, Alison has had the seal of approval from the most important man in her life – her 19-year-old son, Aidan.
Speaking to Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe on their podcast, Parenting Hell, Alison confirmed she was dating and that Aidan knew about him.
She explained: “It’s more difficult, he is more verbal now that he is older. He’ll want to know who this person is and he’ll want to meet them.
“It’s a lot harder. He’ll wanna know that this guy is treating me well.
“The person who I am seeing at the moment, he is on his Instagram and is like ‘yeah I like him, he’s not too in your face’. Aidan is on it.”
