Alison Hammond, beloved *This Morning* presenter, was moved to tears on Wednesday as her colleagues orchestrated a heartwarming surprise for her 50th birthday.
In a segment that was filled with laughter, emotion, and a bit of cheeky fun, the crew ambushed Alison at her Birmingham home to celebrate the milestone.
The surprise began when co-hosts Ben Shephard, 50, and Cat Deeley, 48, enlisted Jeff Brazier, 45, to deliver the unexpected celebration to Alison’s doorstep.
As Jeff arrived at her home, Alison couldn’t help but get emotional, wiping away a tear and greeting him with, “Welcome to the Hammonds, everybody!”
Ben and Cat were quick to remind Alison that turning 50 was a new chapter in her life.
Ben enthusiastically reassured her, saying, “Al, you got to embrace it, it’s a new decade, a new outlook, things shift but you still got that gorgeous smile and that energy, which is magic.”
His words seemed to resonate deeply with Alison, who was already overcome with emotion.
Before Alison could fully process the surprise, Ben and Cat told her she would have to put on a blindfold and wait for her birthday present. What followed was a hilarious and thrilling surprise that would leave Alison grinning from ear to ear.
In her garden, the 50-year-old was treated to an energetic dance performance by the Dreamboys, the popular male dance troupe from the West End. As they performed, Alison, ever the good sport, cheered them on with enthusiasm, joking, “It’s not that sort of neighborhood!” — aware of what her neighbors might be thinking about the unexpected show in her backyard.
The surprise didn’t end there. As part of the heartwarming celebration, the *This Morning* team had prepared a video montage for Alison, featuring heartfelt messages from celebrities such as Rylan Clark, Ryan Reynolds, and Rick Astley. The messages brought even more tears to Alison’s eyes, with the presenter confessing, “I’m emotional, guys, I’m emotional.”
Cat explained to viewers that Alison had no idea the Dreamboys were about to show up, adding an element of surprise that kept everyone, including Alison, on the edge of their seats. Alison expressed her immense gratitude for the thoughtful gesture, saying, “I am so, so, so, so blessed. I am so thankful for *This Morning* for everything that you’ve done in my life.”
Her heartfelt appreciation continued as she told the viewers, “You’ve changed my life and I thank you dearly. If it ended tomorrow, guys, I’ve had a great life. Thank you so much.” Her emotional response demonstrated just how much *This Morning* and its team have impacted her personal and professional journey.
Adding a personal touch to the celebrations, Alison shared that her 20-year-old son, Aiden, also shares her birthday. However, she mentioned that he was still in bed, and she joked that he would be in for quite a shock when he came downstairs and discovered the Dreamboys performing in his kitchen. Alison then posted a sweet selfie with her son on Instagram, writing, “Birthday twins,” celebrating their shared special day.
The *This Morning* team also shared their love for Alison on social media, posting stunning photos and clips from the surprise, as well as some of her funniest moments on the show. Their heartfelt message read, “She’s 50 and fabulous! Happy Birthday @alisonhammond from all of us here at *This Morning*!”
