This Morning star Alison Hammond says she “wants to live longer” as she addresses the possibility of using weight loss jabs. Alison, 50, shed around 13st in recent years after altering her diet and adopting a strict exercise regime.
Alison decided to overhaul her lifestyle after being diagnosed as prediabetic in 2020. People who have been diagnosed with the condition are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life, the NHS explains.
The Great British Bake Off host had previously lost 2st in 2007 after having a gastric band fitted when she took part in the reality TV show Sugar Free Farm. But she had it removed just three years later.
Alison now admits to enjoying being “smaller” and hoping it will prolong her life. She acknowledges that she might use weight-loss jabs in the future.
She responded, “Oh no, I wouldn’t have the jab,” and I don’t like it. I might change my mind next year and begin to rant.”
Alison claims that she has “no opinion” about weight-loss diets. She continues, “Go for it if someone wants the jab.” What factors are important when someone loses weight?
Would you prefer for me to lose weight? We’ll do whatever it takes to get smaller and be healthier because ultimately, I want to live longer.
Alison has previously shared details about the exhausting exercise regimen she has followed to keep her slimmer. When she can’t train, she frequently completes 45-minute circuit routines in the style of bootcamp.
Alison said, “If I’m working, I don’t train, I’ll go for a walk.” However, I’ll just spend an hour with her when I get home from work and have a session there. It might be four days a week.
She claims to have completely eliminated all of her food but still enjoys it in moderation. She has previously expressed her fear about weight-loss attempts, claiming she had heard “funny” tales about them.
She admitted in a conversation with Good Housekeeping in December that she thought “I think that using them is a good thing,” but that I get scared as soon as I hear any scary stories.
“I haven’t wanted to use them, but that’s not to say I won’t in the future, and I’d never look down on anyone who did,” he said.
Alison rose to fame on Big Brother in 2002. She went on to work as an entertainment reporter on This Morning in 2002, gaining attention for her cheeky interviews with A-list stars, before becoming a main presenter on the hit show in 2021.
As she addressed Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous allegations, socialite Lady Victoria Hervey, who dated Prince Andrew in the 1990s, said “dark forces are at play.”

Prince Andrew’s ex-girlfriend Lady Victoria Hervey has sparked outrage with a series of claims about Virginia Giuffre’s bombshell book.
Ms Giuffre, who accused the late convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein and Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, took her own life in April this year.
Her posthumous memoir, which details alleged sexual encounters with Prince Andrew, was published today after six months of her passing.
The prince, who gave up his titles last week in the wake of reports of his friendship with alleged Chinese spies and his connections to an alleged Chinese spy, is the subject of Ms. Giuffre’s Nobody’s Girl.
Andrew has consistently firmly refuted all accusations leveled at him.
Victoria responded to the publication of Ms. Giuffre’s book by calling the accusations a “witch hunt,” claiming that “dark forces are at play.” She has made no secret of her criticism of her assertions. ‘
Victoria wrote on Instagram that “her death was incredibly convenient to take back the narrative and make people forget how her story crumbled toward the end of her life.” “
She continued, “There are some very dark forces at play here that are causing the witch hunts.” “
Lady Victoria has previously spoken out about Giuffre, who she had labeled a “fantasist” and a “liar.” Following a crash earlier this month, the Prince Andrew accuser of calling her “fighting for her life” claimed Giuffre was “the Queen of the fake photo.”
When Ms. Giuffre’s death was revealed this year, Victoria posted on social media that “lilies have no way out.” “
On social media, users vented furiously, calling Victoria “no lady” and calling the post “sick.” Another shocked recipient responded, “Wow, she’s a cold-blooded woman!” “
After the post caused a significant backlash online, Lady Victoria made a follow-up and went back to Instagram.
She stated, “I’ve made the decision to put a halt to my posts right now on Virginia Giuffre.” Anytime, regardless of the circumstances, anyone who commits suicide is tragic, and a young mother who has children even more so. “
In recent years, Sofialite Lady Victoria has spoken out to defend Prince Andrew after a brief romp with him in 1999.
His accuser, Ms Giuffre, claimed in a shocking Instagram photo that she was lying in a hospital bed after colliding with a bus traveling 110 kilometers and suffering from kidney failure in April. The bruised image of Giuffre and another of herself smiling was later shared by Lady Hervey, who later wrote, “What is Karma. The soundtrack to the 1986 film “The Final Countdown” in Europe, which appears to mock Giuffre’s claim that she had days to live, was played.
Following a few weeks, Giuffre’s family announced that she had committed suicide and that she had fought sexual abuse. ‘
After being a long victim of sex abuse and trafficking, her family stated in a statement that Virginia Giuffre lost her life to suicide. In the struggle against sex trafficking and sexual abuse, Virginia fought ferociously. She provided so many survivors with light. She shined so brightly despite the hardships she endured throughout her life. She will be greatly missed. Her children, Christian, Noah, and Emily, were her life’s source of light.
Virginia “realized she had to fight back against those who had abused her and so many others when she held her newborn daughter in her arms.” Our beloved Virginia passed away, and there are no words that can adequately express how devastated we are right now. She was brave, and her incredible bravery and caring spirit will always stand out in her memory. In the end, Virginia could no longer bear the weight of abuse because it was so oppressive. She is well-known to the angels. “
Virginia was much more than just a client, according to her attorney, Sigrid McCawley. She was a wonderful supporter of other victims and a dear friend. Her strength and courage inspired me to fight harder, and she was inspiring. Today, a remarkable person has been lost in the world. My sweet angel, rest in peace. “
Giuffre claimed in a lawsuit brought against Prince Andrew in New York in 2021 that he had sex with her three times between 1999 and 2002 in London, New York, and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein.
In February 2022, they reached an extrajudicial settlement, but it was not made public. Prince Andrew has refuted any allegations made against him.
He expressed regret for working with Epstein in a statement in the settlement, but he made no admission of guilt.
Six years after learning about Virginia’s death, a tragic post from her that claimed she was “no way” suicidal reappeared.
One of the most openly accused of sex offenders, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was the sex trafficking victim.

In 2019, she shared a worrying post on X that has since been shared by a number of famous people. Another X user posted: “F. B. I. will murder her in order to protect the ultra wealthy and well-connected. “

Judy Finnigan and Richard Madeley
Richard Madeley has opened up about a pressing fear held by his wife, Judy Finnigan, before they moved in together, and how it led to him fleeing the UK to think “deeply”. In a recent episode of the On The Mend podcast with Matt Willis, Richard discussed the early days of his and Judy’s relationship, a time when they were both divorced and on the cusp of making a significant decision: whether to live together.
According to Richard, Judy, who had twin boys Dan and Tom from her previous marriage to David Henshaw, said she was concerned about whether he knew what he was doing as a stepfather.
To understand how he truly felt about the relationship, Richard jetted off to Greece for a spot of soul-searching. He spent two weeks in the European nation thinking “quite deeply” about his future, but it would all have a happy ending.
Richard said: “So, I went off on my own. I went off to Greece for two weeks on a kind of a solo holiday to think about it, because I didn’t want to rush – well, I wasn’t rushing – but I didn’t want to make that mistake.”
He continued, “Oh, yeah, it’ll be fine,” without airing it out loud and confidently. I’m happy to be your stepfather, I assure you. I needed to know I could deliver and that I was right.
He revealed that he spent two weeks away from Judy and that he thought “quite deeply” about the future and his feelings toward her when he ultimately said he “felt very comfortable” and “told her that” when he returned.
Richard described how the four of them took a trip to Cornwall, where they rented a cottage as a “little trial”. Touchingly, it proved “fantastic”, and they had a “great time”; Richard added that this “sealed it”.
Richard and Judy, who tied the knot in 1986, went on to have two kids together, Chloe and Jack, and now have five grandchildren. In other news, the star, who hosts Good Morning Britain (GMB), recently made a “confession” on the ITV show.
Last week (October 16), he and co-host Kate Garraway updated viewers on the latest news. In the episode, colleague Charlotte Hawkins detailed how the amount of motorists landing penalty points had risen over the past year.
Speaking about the topic with commentators Kwasi Kwarteng and Ayesha Hazarika, Richard said: “I’m going to make a confession now, it’s not a big deal, but whatever.”

He then disclosed that he had six points on his driving licence, saying: “Both because of speed cameras. One for doing 34 mph on a dual carriageway at four thirty in the morning when it was a 30 mph [zone], I didn’t realise that.
“And one for traveling at four in the morning at twenty-four mph in a 20 mph zone.” And I have to admit that I don’t mind getting fined because, yes, I accidentally broke the law, but it also seemed a little unfair to receive three points on a license.

Find out what’s written in the stars with our astrologer Russell Grant(Image: Daily Record/GettyImages)
It’s Tuesday, and one star sign should showcase their creative talents, while another will form a partnership with a creative friend.
There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.
These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A once passionate relationship feels dull now. This makes you question whether you are drifting apart. The joy and laughter that once filled your days has given way to boredom and you sense the end could be near. Find new things to do together and this could reignite that spark that once brought you together.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
Routine chores and outside commitments have piled up more than you intended. When you think about all you have to do, you can’t help but feel overwhelmed. If you can, find ways to share some of these tasks with your housemates or colleagues.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
There are times when you might feel as if the entire world is against you. A kind gesture is misinterpreted and someone seems to suspect hidden motives behind your goodwill. It seems like nothing you do is right. This confusion will eventually pass but getting through it all won’t be easy.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
This is a good time to showcase your creative talents. It doesn’t matter if you paint, write, or act, now is the moment to let other people see what you can do. Share your creations on a craft-focused website, send a manuscript to a publisher or audition for a part. Even someone who is introverted can relish being in the limelight occasionally.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
Be patient. Try not to be overly critical of a younger person who is acting out. They may not have the experience or maturity to handle issues well. By encouraging them to share what’s troubling them, you will gain their appreciation. Expressing feelings can be quite difficult for some.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
Explore everything you can about a culture that has always intrigued you. Immersing yourself in a different lifestyle will feel liberating. You will realise that certain beliefs and practices no longer benefit you. Instead, you will embrace a perspective that aligns with your true self.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
Forming a partnership with a creative friend will ignite your creativity. You will enjoy working with someone who is intelligent, compassionate, and thoughtful. Regardless of whether this relationship is romantic or professional, it will prove advantageous for both of you. You complement each other beautifully.
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
Signing up for a workshop with your colleagues will be fun and enlightening for you all. When working on a joint project be sure to establish a solid foundation. If you agree on a long-term arrangement, resolve to keep to your promise.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
You intend to leave no stone unturned in your quest for the answer to a challenging question. Searching through a government archive could provide valuable insights. If you hit a roadblock, don’t lose hope. By adjusting your search terms, you will find the information you seek.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
A new friendship or intimate relationship seems to have been put on hold. It will be frustrating not to have many chances to be together. Try to look at yourself as your partner does. As your confidence and self-worth increases, so too will your career and financial success.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
Your job is leaving you feeling drained at the end of every day. It is your responsibility to choose healthier options. By reducing your work commitments, your natural zest for life will return. If you continue to take on more tasks, you risk experiencing burnout. It’s highly recommended to take some time off from work.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
It will upset you to realise that a friend or neighbour’s past kindness was insincere. Now they’ve taken all they can from you, they seem to have moved on to another unsuspecting victim. After experiencing several disappointments recently, this friendship is proving to be just another letdown.
