Alison Hammond has been a fixture on British television since appearing in Big Brother in 2002. Following that, she joined ITV’s This Morning, which she still presents alongside Dermot O’Leary, and in 2023 she became one of the hosts of Channel 4’s The Great British Bake Off.
On Monday night (July 14), she was spotted at The Bear, a 500-year-old hotel in Wantage. According to the hotel, she was out for dinner with friends and was happy to have photos with staff and one of the hotel’s owners, Georgia.
