ALISON HAMMOND SET TO TRAVEL AMERICA WITH HER SON FOR NEW TRAVELOGUE

Alison Hammond has revealed she's set to front a new travel series with her son, which will see the pair travel around America. No broadcaster has been revealed.

Speaking to The Sun, Alison said: "The only reason I said yes to that was so I could spend time with my son. It’s like a win/win. He really wanted to do it so I was like: ‘Let’s do it together!’. We’re going to do parts of America that we’ve never been to before, so it’s kind of like a road trip. You’re just going to have to wait and see. It’s going to be really good fun."

Last week the BBC announced Alison Hammond’s Big Weekend, a brand new entertainment series which will see the much-loved TV host take the celebrity interview into an exciting new direction as she spends two days with some of the UK’s biggest celebrities, giving viewers an exclusive glimpse into their homes and lives.

In this six-part series coming next year to BBC One and iPlayer, each episode will see Alison spend 48 hours with a celebrity where she will really get to know them. The show, made by BBC Studios Entertainment, will be serving up big laughs, big revelations and a whole load of celebrity realness.

Set to be filmed across the UK, Alison will be asking all the big questions in her unique and hilarious way which has made the This Morning and Great British Bake Off star one of the country’s most loved personalities.

Alison Hammond says: “I’m so excited to serve up some big lols and tons of OMG revelations on the BBC as I spend some quality time with some of the UK’s favourite celebrities. When I’m on a mission no secret is safe, and trust me no stone or cupboard will go unturned!”

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC says: “Alison is one of the most warm-hearted presenters in the UK and it’s no surprise that big name celebrities are lining up to have her spend the weekend at their homes. It’s going to be a blast!”

Mel Balac, Creative Director for Entertainment at BBC Studios says: “Alison is the perfect woman for the job. She wears her heart on her sleeve and her incredible openness, energy and warmth will shed new light on the celebrities she spends the weekend with. When Alison comes knocking it’s a special appointment you won’t want to miss!”

Broadcast details for the 6x30' series and celebrity guests will be announced in due course.
