Alison Hammond has admitted that she previously gained a stone during last year's filming of Bake Off after replacing former co-host Matt Lucas so she's now come up with a strict cake tasting rule.The This Morning star, 49, originally said she only agreed to join the much-loved show in the 2023 series 'for the cake' but now she's curbed the tasty treats with her strict new plan for cake tasting. In 2022, Alison revealed she had cut out sugar to help her shed weight. She weighed 20 stone at her heaviest and started to lose weight after her beloved mother sadly died in 2020.
