Alison Hammond has sparked a backlash after sharing snaps of her romantic wildlife park retreat with her younger beau, David Puttman.
The 40-year-old This Morning presenter appeared blissful in pictures with her 26-year-old Russian partner during their stay at Port Lympne Zoo in Kent, but fans were left seething upon discovering the couple's £2,000 luxury experience was complimentary.
Despite Alison clarifying on Instagram that she had been 'gifted' the getaway, showcasing her joyous time with animals and picturesque views, her explanation did little to quell the discontent among her audience, reports the Mirror.
In an Instagram video filled with fun and stunning backdrops, Alison enthused: "What a lovely stay at @portlympnepark a superb hotel and reserve! Staying at the Lion's Lodge was a dream and truly unforgettable. Thanks for the invite and looking after me."
However, the post triggered a wave of criticism from some followers, with one commenting sharply: "How can they gift you this when it is a charity organisation yet it is £2,000 a night for us normal folk to stay there? " Another expressed disappointment: "Such a shame it was gifted. The £1,6000 a night it costs to stay there would have helped the animals greatly."
A third vented frustration, saying: "Show off. Typical gifted how selfish. Why not give to a family in need of a break?"
Representatives for Alison Hammond have been approached for comment.
