Alison Hammond is all smiles as she hits back after blackmail hell and reveals why she will ‘always win’
ALISON Hammond was all smiles as she hit back after her blackmail hell and revealed why she will ‘always win’.
Last week The Sun exclusively revealed that This Morning favourite Alison, 48, called the police over a sinister blackmail and extortion plot.
A man told the star to hand over thousands or he would tell damaging lies to end her career.
Today Alison took to her Instagram to share a positive video with her 1.2 million followers.
In the clip the telly presenter looked incredible in a blue and black polka dot top.
Alison played an audio of a man talking over her video and put her fingers down every time he explained why he was ‘winning’.
The audio said: “You want to know four main reasons why I will always win?
“I don’t hate on nobody, I pray, I stay in my own lane, and lastly, I’m not competing with nobody expect for myself.”
Alison simply captioned the post with a love heart emoji.
Fans rushed to the comments section to share their support.
One wrote: “Hope you are ok petal xx.”
“Keep sparkling Alison, sending you love and positivity you absolute smasher,” a second chimed in.
A third added: “Never let anyone dull your sparkle.”
The popular This Morning host showed detectives the sinister messages earlier this week after summoning the courage to report him.
She tearfully told officers of her eight-month ordeal — and they are now seeking the man, a former friend who cannot be identified for legal reasons.
Pals say new Bake Off co-host Alison is scared for her and her family’s safety after “turning off the tap” of cash to report him.
It’s understood she felt forced to hand over thousands of pounds and even a £5,000 BMW to stop him making up damaging falsehoods about her.
He had vowed to “tell the world” the lies which he said would end her soaraway career.
Over the weekend it was reported that the police arrested a suspect, but was later released on bail.
Alison replaced Phillip Schofield on This Morning and took his place next to Holly Willoughby today.
Fans were left confused as Phillip “went missing” from the programme on Monday morning.
Phillip, 60, was nowhere to be seen on Monday’s instalment of the popular ITV show, which he has presented with Holly since 2009.
Announcing the show, Holly said: “Hello. Welcome to your Monday. Phillip is having the week off so all the adults have left the building.”
Alison then chimed in, laughing: “It’s fantastic. Nice way to start the week off, and lovely to have you here.”
But fans were left seriously confused, and took to Twitter to question why Phil had “gone missing”.
One penned: “What, there’s no Phil?” as another chimed in: “Shouldn’t Holly just be taking the lead in the absence of Phil?”
