Born on the fifth of February, 1975, Alison Hammond is a British television presenter who became famous after appearing on the third series of Big Brother in 2002. The former child actress, holiday representative and cinema usherette was the second housemate to be evicted when she left on day 15. Her most memorable moment in the house was jumping on a picnic table, and breaking it, before reporting it in the diary room.

Since leaving the house, Hammond has appeared on many television programmes. These include Celebrity Fit Club and Celebrities Under Pressure. She has also appeared on Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes, performing as Nina Simone, Celebrity Ready Steady Cook, as a panellist on ITV's Loose Women, and a presenter on the short-lived ITV Play channel. In 2004 she played herself in Christmas Lights opposite Robson Green.

Hammond has also been a part of the presenting team of ITV's popular daytime programme This Morning, on which her memorable interviews with many famous celebrities have become almost legendary.

On 5 February 2005, Hammond gave birth to her first child, a boy called Aiden; his father is a Tunisian restaurateur, although Hammond is no longer romantically involved with him. Prior to this, she had a scan live on television, where it was revealed that the baby was a boy.
