Inside Alison Hammond's star-studded 48th birthday party with This Morning co-stars

Alison Hammond pulled out all the stops to celebrate her 48th birthday.

The mum-of-one was joined by her This Morning co-stars and son Aiden, who has just turned 18.

Guests including Holly Willoughby, Dermot O'Leary, Carol Vorderman and Vanessa Feltz let their hair down at the bash, which was also attended by fashion guru Gok Wan, who was on DJ duty.

As glamorous drag queens paraded around the swanky venue in Birmingham, Alison told the revellers: "We're live on Instagram!"

Giant lit-up 48 and 18 statues were on display in the video behind an enormous blue birthday cake for Aiden and an elaborately-decorated pink affair for Alison.

Concluding the eight-minute clip, the Big Brother star said: "Hi everyone, woo, we're having a lovely party.

"I wish you was all here, that's why I've gone live on Instagram. I've had some birthday cake, I've had some food, I'm drinking water and I've had a lovely time.

"I hope you've enjoyed joining me, I'm gonna go now and enjoy my party. Love you, bye!"

Holly later took to Instagram and posted a snap of herself alongside Alison and Dermot. She captioned the photo: "This picture sums the night up… blurry… happiest of birthdays to @alisonhammond55 … love you @dermotoleary @thismorning."

While Countdown star Carol captioned a shot of herself with one of the drag queens with the caption: 'BLOODY GOOD PARTY. Happy Birthday Kween @alisonhammond55 .

"And your Aidan #18 Having too good a night."

Alison told us her teenage son never watches his famous mum on TV - despite her taking over This Morning every Friday.

The TV star shares Aiden son with her former partner Noureddine Boufaied.

Allison fell pregnant shortly after appearing on the third series of Big Brother back in 2002, but the teenager isn't starstruck by his mum's success.

"I’ll be honest with you, he doesn’t [watch]," she told us in an exclusive interview.

"He watches TikTok and YouTube, and he’s a gamer. I have to go up to him and say, 'Babes, watch the TV!' and then he’ll put the television on and watch it.

"Occasionally I’ll go home and he’ll say, 'I watched you today Mum, you were really good.' I say, 'How much did you watch then? Two minutes?!'"

Alison has been on This Morning for 20 years and is a huge hit with her bubbly Brummie charm.

Speaking about her stellar career, she said: "It’s amazing. I’ve been at This Morning now for 20 years. It’s an absolute treat to go to work.

"I don’t feel like I’ve worked a day in the past 20 years because it’s so lovely."
