The mother of Alison Hammond's Russian toyboy, 26, has urged him to 'DUMP' TV ... trends now

Alison Hammond's Russian toyboy David Putman's mother Olga has urged him to 'dump' the This Morning star.

The TV presenter, 49, has been dating the Russian masseur, 26, since she booked him for a £150 massage and the pair hit it off.

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

But his mother has reportedly begged David to leave Alison due to the age gap and the fame she has bought to her son.

According to The Sun, a source said: 'She's uncomfortable that her son is with someone who has so much more financial power than him. Olga’s traditional values don’t sit well with their relationship.

'She's told him in no uncertain terms that he must end it. Olga raised her children in the Orthodox Church. This kind of relationship doesn’t fit her beliefs.

'She calls her son almost every day and tells him how unhappy she is. But David is happy with his relationship so anything his mum says isn’t going to affect him.'   

MailOnline have contacted Alison's representatives for a comment. 

Alison opened up about their relationship for the first time last week and confirmed he even has her son Aiden's seal of approval.

Speaking about the relationship for the first time on Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe's podcast Parenting Hell, the comedians grilled the TV star as they asked: 'Are you single Alison?'

Acting coy, she gushed: 'No… I'm not single.. I'm dating. I'm dating!'

Alison is mother to her only child, Aiden, who she shares with her former husband Noureddine Boufaied, and Rob and Josh asked about the complexities of dating now her son is almost an adult. 

Aiden is 19-years-old, only a few years younger than her new boyfriend David who is thought to be in his mid twenties.
