Alison Hammond stuns with 'delicious' swimwear snaps with help from dating expert - but there's more to it than meets the eye

Alison Hammond 'looked fire' as she admired a selection of glamorous snaps of the TV favourite. The 48-year-old This Morning presenter couldn't believe what she was seeing as she and co-host Dermot O'Leary were joined on the chat show couch by dating expert Stefan-Pierre Tomlin.

The self-confessed 'most swiped right man' on Tinder is helping unlucky-in-love men find romance with a subscription service which uses Chat GPT and AI technology. He launched his own site, Celebrity Love Coach, where single men looking for love can pay a subscription which Stefan says will help them to have more successful matches when dating online.

Enhanced images of Alison were revealed on Monday's show and she gasped: "That's really enhanced, I look fire. Wow." An impressed Dermot then requested: "Show me the 'Crazy in Love.'" And Alison asked: "Is that me or is it Beyonce?" But Dermot was less impressed with his AI images, asking: "Who's that?"

Alison shared some of her AI images on Instagram, enthusing: "I could get used to AI!!" Former Love Island star Laura Anderson replied: "Oh delicious."

Alison's former Big Brother housemate Kate Lawler said cheekily: "Cracking pair … of earrings babs x" and Dr Ranj Singh exclaimed: "Wowzers!!!"

But other followers told her she doesn't need the AI. Andrew Johnson told her: "You don't need any enhancements. You're a natural beauty. Keep doing your thing sis." And Louise Gatti said: "I think you look better before."

Rachael Barker said: "You don’t need it." Topps 2012 replied: "Don’t need AI Alison." And Rachel Hall commented: "Absolutely stunning without."

In 2017 Stefan was revealed to be the 'most swiped man' on Tinder, and he is now using his experience to help "genetically non-blessed people" find love and reach romantic success - like a real life Hitch. He insists this is "not cheating."

"Think of it as Viagra for your social profile - apart from my results come in hard and fast. You will go from no dates to full diaries," Stefan said previously. "Every man deserves a better roll of the dice - it’s not cheating, it’s evening out the playing field."

He continued: "I’m selling a real solution - a bespoke plan of action that uses machines to correct your dating fault. It’s not cheating it’s giving back power to the less fortunate."

Stefan compares photo editing and using AI technology to Instagram filters and filler. He said: "We change people's pictures and bespoke their bios. Most people say it's catfishing - it's not. It's like if a girl puts a photo on Instagram using a filter or if she gets Botox or filler."

He recommends singletons always video call before a first date, send a fun first message and only use photos of themselves on their profiles. He said: "Your first message should be a fun open question not just 'hey'.

"Don't have anyone else in your profile pictures - you don't want people to have to play a game of 'Where's Wally?'. You should include photos of your hobbies - not just photos of you drinking and clubbing - that doesn't attract the right demographic."

According to the dating coach, out of the 45 men he has helped in the last two months, 32 have successfully dated. He added: "I am giving un-genetically blessed people a hidden advantage in the dating game. My AI prompts and training can turn any guy from zero to hero."
