Alison Hammond (born 5 February 1975 in Birmingham) is a British television presenter who became famous after appearing on the third series of "Big Brother" in 2002. The former child actress, holiday representative and cinema usherette was the second housemate to be evicted when she left on day 15. Her most memorable moment in the house was jumping on a picnic table, and breaking it, before reporting it in the diary room.

Since leaving the house, Hammond has appeared on many television programmes. These include "Celebrity Fit Club" and "Celebrities Under Pressure". She has also appeared on "Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes", performing as Nina Simone, "Celebrity" "Ready Steady Cook", "Daily Cooks Challenge", as a panellist on ITV's "Loose Women", and a presenter on the short-lived "ITV Play" channel. In 2004 she played herself in "Christmas Lights" opposite Robson Green.

Hammond has also been a part of the presenting team of ITV's popular daytime programme "This Morning", interviewing many famous celebrities.

On 5 February 2005, Hammond gave birth to her first child, a boy called Aiden; his father is a Tunisian restaurateur, although Hammond is no longer romantically involved with him. Prior to this, she had a scan live on television, where it was revealed that the baby was a boy.

On 1 October 2008, Alison was named as the face of online bingo site Crown Bingo. She will take part in live chats and her voice can be heard as bingo caller within the bingo room.
