Alison Hammond has revealed the killer line that kickstarted her current romance.
The This Morning presenter, 47, is loved-up with a mystery man and although she is keeping his identity under wraps for now, the Big Brother icon recently revealed she's waiting for her other half to pop the question after dating for nearly two years.
Alison - whose co-host Dermot O'Leary was the one to let slip that she is 'taken' - spoke with Grace Keeling about her love life during a recent podcast interview and opened up about the special someone in her life.
The Brummie star has previously described her new beau as "a lovely man" and explained on This Morning how she's "had him hidden for a year and a half. A year and a half I’ve been with him, and no one knew!"
As Grace asked the award-winning presenter the secret to bagging a man, a smirking Alison replied: "You want to know how I got him? I just said, 'Babes, do you think you can handle this juice?!'"
Laughing, the popular star added: "He's like 'I'm all over it!'"
Alison - who scooped a major presenting award last week - went on to say: "You've got to be confident haven't you? When you see someone and you think, 'that is my person', you've got to go for it. You can't let that person go. When I see someone, I think 'that is my person'."
As Grace asked if it was love at first sight, a coy Alison admitted "A little bit yeah," before adding with a chuckle: "I don't think it was love at first sight on their front..."
Elsewhere in the candid Saving Grace podcast chat, Alison admitted she and co-host Dermot often do things to prompt rumours of a rift between the This Morning duo.
Alison explained how she can't tell people enough 'how wrong they actually are' if they honestly believe she and Dermot are locked in a bitter feud.
Although the pair often gush about each other on social media, speculation the two stars don't get along off-camera is always bubbling - but Alison says there is not a grain of truth to the rumours.
Chatting with Grace, Alison explained how she and Dermot may keep following social distancing rules on screen to trick people into thinking they have 'beef' with one another.
Dermot was the one to reveal Alison's new romance earlier this year, letting slip live on This Morning that his co-host is a 'taken' woman.
After Dermot's revelation, Alison confessed: "Can you believe Dermot outed me on the TV? I’m a little bit disappointed to be honest with you as I can’t flirt with no one else now.
"He’s a lovely man and all I can say is that I’ve had him hidden for a year and a half. A year and a half I’ve been with him, and no one knew! He loves me to bits. He absolutely worships me and massages my feet every single day. What more do you want?!"
