David Putman urges Alison Hammond to prioritize health after hospital scare

The presenter, who has since returned to her duties on This Morning, initially reassured fans with a video update from her hospital bed. While she was quickly cleared by medical professionals to return home, insiders suggest the incident left her partner, 29-year-old masseuse David Putman, deeply unsettled. The couple, who began dating in 2023, now face a difficult conversation regarding the balance between Hammond’s high-profile career and her long-term wellbeing.

Since her breakout appearance on the 2002 series of Big Brother, Hammond has built a prolific career fronting major programs including The Great British Bake Off and For The Love Of Dogs. However, friends close to the couple note that Putman is concerned about the relentless momentum of her work. He is reportedly encouraging the mother-of-one to acknowledge the physical toll of her responsibilities, fearing that her signature ambition might eventually compromise her health. While Hammond remains eager to maintain her public persona and energetic lifestyle, the recent scare has sparked a quiet tug-of-war over how much she needs to scale back to protect her future.
