Alison Hammond has shut down speculation that she’s pregnant in the most hilarious way possible after false rumours spread online.
The Great British Bake-Off and This Morning host, 50, has reportedly been the subject of false AI-generated stories that are claiming she’s with child.
Alison has one child – her son Aidan who was born in 2005 – but she appears to be determined not to have any more if her latest comments are anything to go by.
Naturally, Alison has responded to the pregnancy rumours with good spirit and humour, taking to social media to deny them in the best way possible.
Posting to her Instagram account, which has 1.7 million followers, she said: ‘Lots of AI stories online about me being pregnant, I can confirm I am not having a baby.’
She continued: ‘[I’m definitely not pregnant] as I’m not sure my 50-year-old womb could take it. However, I do think we should all dance like Meghan.’
The statement was accompanied by a video of Alison dancing around her living room after stuffing her dress with a giant pillow to mimic a pregnant belly.
Referencing the already famous video of Meghan Markle dancing while heavily pregnant with daughter Princess Lillibet, Alison busted a move or two while waving her hands in the air like she just didn’t care.
In the video, which was taken four years ago, the heavily pregnant Duchess of Sussex is shown dancing in a hospital room to the sound of Starrkeisha song Baby Momma.
Meghan posted on her Instagram to celebrate Lili’s fourth birthday on Wednesday, writing: ‘Four years ago today, this also happened.
‘Both of our children were a week past their due dates – so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!’
The happy video has (of course) drawn some criticism on social media after Meghan was seen to twerk at one point, with online users criticising her behaviour.
For Metro, Kirsty Ketley argued back: ‘[The video] shows something powerful: joy. A woman, supported by her partner, using music and laughter to cope with one of the most intense moments of their life.’
Commenting on Alison’s video, Bryony Gordon called Alison ‘our queen’ while Lisa Snowden applauded, celebrated, and laughed at the clip with a group of emojis.
Scottish radio presenter Jenni Falconer commented saying ‘You are just brilliant’ and added three big love hearts in her message to Alison.
Alison’s son Aidan, now 19, was born in 2005 when the Big Weekend presenter was engaged to Noureddine Boufaied – the couple split in 2014.
She confessed, ‘I felt that failure with [Noureddine] when we broke up, but he moved on and has three other kids now and they are part of our life,’ but revealed that they have successfully co-parented over the years.
