Alison Hammond Reveals New Look in GBBO Set Photos After 11-Stone Weight Loss

Motivated by a pre-diabetic diagnosis, she credits trainer-led workouts plus a moderation-based diet over injections.

Overview

  • New images posted Thursday by makeup artist Mikey Phillips showed Hammond posing at Welford Park on the Great British Bake Off set, prompting fans to say they "hardly recognised" her.
  • The 50-year-old presenter says she reversed a pre-diabetic diagnosis that followed concerns linked to her late mother’s type 2 diabetes.
  • Hammond attributes roughly 11 stone lost to sessions with a personal trainer along with walking, stretching and yoga, and to eating everything in moderation rather than cutting foods entirely.
  • She says she has not used weight-loss injections, though she has previously said she would not judge those who do, and she limits Bake Off cake tasting to standout bakes.
  • Her earlier attempt at surgical intervention — a gastric band fitted in 2007 — was later removed, and she continues her roles on This Morning and The Great British Bake Off.
