More info Alison Hammond is being urged to leave her relationship by the mother of her current boyfriend. The This Morning star, who recently turned 49, has openly confirmed her relationship with Russian masseuse David Putman, who is 23 years younger than her. The happy couple are believed to be head over heels in love but not everyone seems as thrilled by their romance, especially David's mother.

Earlier this month, Alison and David had their first shared appearance on the red carpet, accompanied by Aidan, Alison's son. They were attending a high-profile celebrity gathering, the Mirror reports. Alison is said to be rather hurt by some of the backlash received ever since her relationship became public knowledge.

However, the most critical remarks come from David's mother Olga who wishes for him to leave Alison for "a nice Russian girl." An insider opened up to Heat magazine about it, spilling: "She thinks Alison is way too old for David and doesn't like all the attention her TV fame has brought to her son. "She's uncomfortable that her son is with someone who has so much more financial power than him.

Olga's traditional values don't sit we.
