“We're all going to die eventually. I might die a little bit sooner, but I'm goin…” — Alison Hammond

I never leave anything on my plate, and that's maybe one reason why I'm a big girl.

My dad, Clifford Hammond, was a big man with a big presence. He wooed my mum Maria and she fell madly in love with him, and pregnant with me, before finding out he was married.

There was a time when I couldn't pay my mortgage, and I was really famous.

I had to lose weight because I was dying. I really was dying.
