Birmingham-born television presenter Alison Hammond has received widespread praise after candidly discussing her decision not to undergo laser hair removal on her chin. The 51-year-old, known for presenting This Morning, The Great British Bake Off and For The Love of Dogs, shared her thoughts in a video posted on Instagram.
In the clip, Hammond explained that although she had previously considered having treatment on her chin, she ultimately decided against it. "I went to the hairdressers and the lady who does the laser surgery, she was doing that on the side...but I never had it done," she said. "I mean I spoke about having my chin done. But then I decided, you know what? These hairs are part of me, I love them. Au naturel."
Fans React to Hammond's Honesty
The video, filmed during a car journey for her role as an ambassador for Tropic Skincare, features a conversation with a colleague named Carlton. Viewers were quick to praise Hammond for her openness and humour, with one fan commenting: "Just loving Alison revealing all her secrets to Carlton!" Another wrote "Queen. Love her," while a third added "Obsessed. We need a full series."
Hammond also spoke about why she values working with brand ambassadors. "I'd more buy it off an ambassador than go online. Because I trust them, number one. And secondly they're going to tell me what I actually need," she said.
Role as Tropic Skincare Ambassador
Hammond is Tropic Skincare's first celebrity ambassador and collaborator. She began using the brand to manage her sensitive skin and has since launched a limited-edition, 7-piece travel-friendly skincare collection featuring her long-time favourites and daily essentials.
Her candid comments come as she continues to be open about personal topics, including her health journey. Since rising to fame on Big Brother, Hammond has lost around 13 stone. She has previously spoken about changing her eating habits after being diagnosed as pre-diabetic, which she described as a major wake-up call.
Health Journey and Personal Motivation
Her late mother encouraged her to take control of her health before passing away. Hammond achieved significant weight loss by working with a personal trainer, attending regular early-morning circuit classes, and practising moderation with food rather than using extreme measures.
The presenter's latest revelation about her facial hair adds to her reputation for being refreshingly honest about her body and personal choices, resonating with fans who appreciate her authenticity.
