Dermot O’Leary had just one word for his co‑host Alison Hammond as she walked onto the set: ‘Bond girl.’ The 51‑year‑old presenter was wearing a slinky leopard print dress, paired with black flats and gold bangles, her hair styled in tight curls. It was the latest public milestone in a health overhaul that began around five years ago.
Working consistently with a personal trainer, Hammond has gradually improved her fitness and lost 11 stone. Her transformation has been dramatic, and on this occasion O’Leary’s gushing comparison to a Bond girl captured the moment. Hammond smiled at the compliment, clearly comfortable in her new look.
“Alison Hammond displayed 11 stone weight loss in leopard print dress; Dermot O'Leary called her a Bond girl.”
The presenter’s journey has been one of steady, sustained effort rather than quick fixes. She started her health kick half a decade ago, and has stuck with it, training regularly and making lasting changes to her lifestyle. The results were on full display in the leopard print dress, which she wore with simple accessories and flats, letting the weight loss speak for itself.
Hammond has not publicly discussed specific diet plans or exercise regimes, but her consistent work with a personal trainer suggests a disciplined approach. The 11‑stone loss is a significant achievement, and her confidence has grown alongside her fitness. O’Leary’s affectionate comment was a reflection of how striking the change is.
The question now is what comes next. Hammond has not indicated any further goals, but given her track record of steady progress, she may continue to refine her health routine. For now, she is enjoying the moment – and giving her co‑host plenty of material for compliments.
