‘Alison Hammond on a free holiday to Florida to see if it’s accessible to poor people. Do p*** off. @BBC #floridaunpacked’,
’15 minutes in and we’ve seen #alisonhammond drive a campervan and nepo baby buy food in a shop. Thrilling stuff. Could we actually see some of Florida instead please?’,
‘Nope … can’t watch this. Talentless, irritating, constantly screeching #AlisonHammond and her son blagging Free holiday. There is 15 episodes of this shit #FloridaUnpacked’.
The pair kayaked across the clear waters and took a peek behind the curtain at a buzzing Ocala drive-in cinema.
It comes after Alison revealed the poignant link between her late mum and her new travel series.
But what fans won’t know is that Alison’s late mum Maria is the person who made her think about travelling to the popular travel destination.
Speaking about her mother, Alison said: ‘My mum, who worked as a travel agent, originally inspired me to go to Florida and she was always a big part of those trips.
‘Mum wasn’t there this time, so that was sad.
