Alison Hammond’s boyfriend’s mother urges him to dump This Morning Star
Seeing how the two have a considerable age gap and considering Alison’s salary from her TV career, David’s mother is understood to be very ‘uncomfortable’ with their relationship. According to his friend, David’s mother calls him every day to dump the 49-year-old star and find himself a ‘nice Russian girl.’
This friend told The Sun:
She thinks Alison is way too old for David and doesn’t like all the attention her TV fame has brought to her son.
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.
Olga raised her children in the Orthodox Church and as such her son’s new relationship ‘doesn’t fit her beliefs.’ She’s also worried about the gossip that circulates around in their hometown. The friend added:
She’s told him in no uncertain terms that he must end it. She calls her son almost every day and tells him how unhappy she is.
However, David is very happy with his relationship with Alison - who rose to fame from Big Brother- and wouldn’t let anything his mother says affect him.
