Alison Hammond admits weight-loss jabs ‘frighten’ her as she reveals mum’s concern before hear death
‘If you can, sort out your weight, Alison’
Alison Hammond has opened up about her huge weight loss in a new interview and revealed her attitude towards weight loss jabs such as Ozempic.
Alison moved audiences to tears at an awards do in Birmingham earlier this week. Accepting the Role Model Award, she gave an emotional apology to her son Aidan, for being away from him to work on her career.
“I’m actually going to take this quite seriously because I’ve worked so hard, guys. I’m not even just saying that. I’ve worked… so… hard!” she said.
And it seems the same applies to her weight loss as well as her career.

Alison Hammond on her weight-loss journey
In an interview with Good Housekeeping, Alison recalled a conversation she had with her mum before she died in 2020.
“Mum said to me: ‘If you can, sort out your weight, Alison,’ and that really set it in my head,” she said. “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.”
Alison revealed that she was pre-diabetic in November 2020, on This Morning.
At the time, the show’s Dr Sara explained that 12.3 million people in the UK are at increased risk of diabetes. She urged people to maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to “stop type 2 diabetes in its tracks”.
Fortunately, Alison was able to do just that. She hired a personal trainer, with whom she worked twice a week. She cut down on sweets and fatty foods, and did regular home workouts both with and without weights. And now she’s no longer pre-diabetic.

Scare stories over weight loss jabs
Alison lost a significant amount of weight without using weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, which are becoming increasingly popular in the US.
“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. 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’s weight loss journey has been emotional, and she hasn’t shied away from discussing it live on TV.
According to Diabetes UK, 60% of people with type 1 diabetes and 85% of people with type 2 diabetes are carrying extra weight or living with obesity. This is because carrying extra weight can lead to a buildup of fat around your essential organs.
In tur, this can cause insulin resistance, which spells bad news as far as a diabetes diagnosis is concerned.
