As I delve into the intricacies of Alison Hammond‘s latest venture, Bombshell, I am struck by the profound depth and resonance her novel holds, drawing from her rich tapestry of experiences. It is a testament to the power of storytelling that she can weave such a compelling narrative, intertwining elements of her own life with fictional characters in a way that both entertains and enlightens.


Ali Hammond shared insights about the likenesses she shares with the protagonist of her latest novel, “Bombshell,” and expressed her preferences for the actors who would portray her and her romantic interest should the story ever be adapted for a movie.

In a romantic comedy, the story revolves around Madison, who sacrificed her personal aspirations to nurture her kids and her popular TV actor spouse’s career. However, unexpectedly, he decides to leave their marriage.

In her novel, Alison, a 49-year-old Morning star collaborator with Lisa Bent, appears to have incorporated numerous aspects of her own life, such as her connection with the 26-year-old Russian masseur named David Putman, into the story.

She shared with Radio Times that there are some common traits between herself and Madison: both are large and curvaceous, have dark skin, possess a lively personality, and are mothers.

‘But the main one is that she’s a bombshell and so am I!

Hey there! Let me tell ya something, I can’t help but spill the beans – some of this juicy content in here is straight outta my life, while other parts are hearsay from the grapevine. So, as you turn these pages, who knows if it’s a tale I lived or heard about a coworker or buddy? It’s all part of the mystery!

In a potential film adaption of the book, she mentioned that Judi Love might be suitable for the role. Additionally, she suggested that Idris Elba could play her husband in the production.

1) “That’s an excellent observation. If they bring in Idris Elba, it essentially means goodbye to Judi Love, and I apologize for that. As for Madison’s new love interest, Nathan, I’d prefer a younger Colin Farrell or Ewan McGregor from the Moulin Rouge era.

It appears that Alison has incorporated a multitude of personal experiences into her novel, as the characters’ tumultuous romantic storylines seem reminiscent of events from her own life.

At present, Alison is in a relationship with the Russian masseur, David. However, she’s confessed that her romantic past wasn’t as simple as it is now.

The celebrity from This Morning has experienced more than her share of sorrow, including being betrayed in a relationship and experiencing a broken engagement.

In the book, Madison, similar to Alison, has a familiarity with television broadcasting, given that her spouse holds a position as a presenter.

In the first chapter, Alison subtly mentions her own professional journey by disclosing that her spouse is part of a home improvement program titled “House Mates.” This could be seen as a wink to her past experience on “Big Brother.

Madison hails from Jamaica and is currently mourning the passing of her mother Selina, who unfortunately succumbed to a rapidly progressing form of cancer.

Sadly, I was deeply affected when my dearly loved mother, Maria, passed away in January 2020 following a valiant struggle against lung and liver cancer.

Another link to Alison’s real life comes when Madison experiences a life changing visit to a spa. 

Following an emotional upheaval after her husband’s departure, a thoughtful friend arranges a soothing massage session for her. During this session, the skilled masseuse assists her in processing her feelings, and she encounters a fresh acquaintance named Savine.

Alison met her current partner, David, who is a massage therapist from Russia, following her appointment with him for a 150-pound massage session. The two of them found a connection right away.

As I turned each page, I found myself growing ever closer to Savine – my heartfelt companion and soothing whisper amidst the tumultuous storm that was my marital strife.

During difficult periods in her life, Alison has relied on her true friends for support. Previous reports suggested that her fellow host on “This Morning,” Holly Willoughby, provided guidance when Alison separated from landscape gardener Ben Hawkins the previous year.

As a diligent confidante, I found myself in a challenging situation when my dear friend Madison suspected her spouse of infidelity. Caught between loyalty and concern, she was at a loss on how to navigate the intricate world of dating apps. That’s where our bond came into play, as I offered my assistance in creating a discreet Tinder profile, aimed at unveiling the truth.

Alison has used Tinder before in her quest for love but confessed she didn’t know how to use it. 

Earlier, she confessed on This Morning: “Allow me to mention that when I joined the dating platform Tinder (there are numerous other dating platforms available), I unintentionally swiped in the incorrect direction!

Initially, I was making the wrong choices on the app. Consequently, I kept encountering people whom I didn’t find appealing, yet they were the ones I had liked. Eventually, I decided to quit the app, feeling that I couldn’t continue using it.

In the book, Madison learns her husband has betrayed her by kissing another woman. 

Ali shared that before her rise to stardom, she fell in love with a man named Ben whom she met in Tunisia. Unfortunately, she later found out that he was unfaithful while they were together.

Writing in her autobiography, she confessed: ‘My boyfriend was cuddling and kissing another girl.

Even though I deeply cherished Ben, I found myself unable to return. Witnessing him embrace another in a manner identical to how he would affectionately greet me was heart-wrenching. That moment signaled the conclusion of our romantic connection.

It’s thought that the longest romantic connection for Alison was with taxi driver Noureddine Boufaied, who she parted ways with in 2014.

In the year 2005, the pair became engaged, also welcoming their son Aiden into their family that very year. Since then, they’ve maintained a strong and amicable relationship.
