ITV This Morning's Alison Hammond admits to using tracking app on teenage son

Alison Hammond reveals she tracks her son

This Morning's Alison Hammond divided fans on Friday's episode when she revealed that she tracks her teenage son.

In the latest episode, Alison, 49, and co-host Dermot O'Leary discussed 'should you tag your tot?' with various experts as people have begun using AirTags to monitor their children.

During the conversation, Alison confessed that she tracks her son, Aiden, 19, using the Find My Friends app, which her son also enjoys using to keep an eye on his famous mum. Alison finds it especially helpful when her son is holidaying as she can confirm his location and whether he has returned safely to his hotel.

Alison said on Friday's show: "I've just realised, I'm still tracking my 19-year-old, you know you've got Find A Friend on your phone, I've got it on him and he's got it on me. I just like seeing it, I know he's in Ibiza at the moment and I like to see when he's back at the hotel.

"I just want to know that he's okay. He loves it, instead of him having to phone me, he does like phoning me as well, he likes to know I've got to the hotel okay. Sometimes he'll phone up and go: 'What are you doing there?' and I go: 'None of your business!'", reports the Mirror.

However, viewers were left divided over the topic as one person said: "Alison and Ben keeping tabs on their almost adult teenagers! #thismorning" with an awkward emoji, a different account put: "You’re going to make them paranoid #ThisMorning" while another added: "Depends on the child's age and the reasons why. Ben Shephard saying he tracks his son at uni the other day is ridiculous. But tracking for safety on young children whilst out and about is great #ThisMorning."

It comes as This Morning icon Alison recently candidly confessed that she was 'really dying' when she was at her heaviest at 28 stone. The TV presenter lost 11 stone after she decided to change her lifestyle. The change didn't come without hard work, including a gruelling workout routine and a change in her diet.

In a recent post shared on Instagram, Alison shared a glimpse into her tiring exercise routine, which includes weightlifting and boxing. Her personal trainer shared the compilation video on his own page before Alison reposted it on her Stories.

The video showed her lifting weights, boxing, and using kettlebells and medicine balls. The original caption read: "The Queen in today, short on time so quick 45-minute circuit and done!"

She commented a black heart emoji and other followers were quick to praise her for her efforts. "Alison looks freaking amazing @alisonhammond55 get it girl [fire emojis] I need to join you," one user said and another added: "This has just given me the motivation I needed. Thank you @alisonhammond55 and @luimancini."
