Moment Alison Hammond's hunky Russian boyfriend, 29, skinny dips in freezing ... trends now

This Morning star Alison Hammond's hunky Russian boyfriend bares all as he takes a naked dip in a freezing cold lake.

Model and masseur David Putman, who is 20 years younger than fun loving Alison, 49, dived into the water at remote beauty in the Caucasus Mountains close to where he was born in Russia's Krasnodar region.

With the temperature hovering above 10c and with most people wisely wrapped up warm - an onlooker can be heard encouraging David and saying:' You have to merge with nature completely....without pants.'

Stunning Lake Kardyvach which sits at 6,030ft and has no fish swimming in it, is a popular tourist spot and close to where Russian leader Vladimir Putin owns two palaces as well as a secret mountain skiing retreat.

Six foot ten David and Alison got together after she booked him for a £150 massage session and he is now a regular visitor to her home after romance blossomed between the pair.

He moved to the UK two years ago to avoid being called up to the front line and a pal said:' When the war in the Ukraine began David's mother Olga began to worry.

'She didn't want her boys dragged into it. She wanted them safe like any mother world,' so he moved to Slough, Berkshire, where his uncle Nigel, 71, lives but he spends a lot of time working in London.

David also has British citizenship through his father - also called David - and was able to avoid being called up into the Russian army as a result.

David snr is a said to be a welder who moved to Russia in the late 1990s to marry architect Olga Kovalenko following the break up of his first marriage.

David also has two siblings, Apollo and Sviatoslov, who are twins three years older than him and who live in England.
