Alison Hammond and new Russian boyfriend David Putman look loved-up on first ... trends now

Alison Hammond steps out for the first time in public with her new Russian boyfriend David Putman. 

The This Morning host, 49, is reportedly dating the hunky 6ft 10in model, who is 23 years her junior. 

And on Friday, Alison and David cosied up as they enjoyed a romantic break at Port Lympne Safari Park in Kent.

The pair reportedly spent the night together in one of the two luxury Lodges, which allow visitors to stay with the lions.

Alison bundled up in a khaki coat and blue jeans, teamed with gold sandals and orange tinted sunglasses.

Meanwhile, David looked smart in a beige trench coat, teamed with khaki chinos and brown shoes.

Alison is said to have a new lease of life after finding love with David.

The This Morning host is reportedly dating the hunky 6ft 10in model, and the surprising way the couple met has now been revealed with their relationship blossoming from the moment Alison booked David for a £150 massage.

According to The Sun, Alison was a client of the professional masseur and it was during a session that the pair first hit it off, with the presenter visiting David in between her busy filming schedule.

Their friendship then reportedly turned romantic at the end of last year, despite the 23 year age gap between the pair.

Originally from Krasnodar in Russia, David left the country for the UK in December 2022 to escape the front line following President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

A friend of David told the publication: ' When the war in 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 would.'

David therefore moved to the UK, where he now lives with his uncle Nigel Putman, 71, in Slough, but he spends a lot of time in London for work.
