This Morning's Alison Hammond left viewers divided on Friday as she revealed she tracks her teenage son.
During the latest instalment, Alison, 49, and co-star Dermot O'Leary spoke about 'should you tag your tot?' with a series of experts as people have started using AirTags to keep tabs on their children.
While discussing the dividing topic, Alison admitted she tracks her son, Aiden, 19, using Find My Friends with her son also loving the app to keep tabs on his famous mother.
Alison said it's particularly useful while her son holidays in Ibiza as she knows his whereabouts and if he has got safely back to the hotel. Alison said: "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!'"
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."
