Alison Hammond is fronting another new show and this time she’s bringing a family member along with her for the ride. For Alison Hammond’s Florida Unpacked, her travel buddy is someone she knows very well… her son Aidan Hammond. The pair are travelling around the American state to give BBC viewers savvy travel tips to brighten up the winter months. If anybody can bring some light to January it’s surely national treasure Alison.
The project marks Aidan’s first big foray into the world of TV but as the child of Alison, 49, we’re pretty sure he’ll be a natural. Before he makes his big debut, let’s take a look at his career so far and the relationship he shares with Alison….

19-year-old Aidan is the son of Alison and ex-finance Noureddine Boufaied, a cab driver from Manchester. The pair split in 2014 with Alison explaining: ‘Over time we realised we weren’t compatible. He wanted to be in Manchester and I wanted to be in Birmingham.
‘Eventually we split up. Nourddine became an every-other-weekend dad, and in time, we saw him as and when he wanted to see Aidan.’. She’s spoken about her guilt in not being able to stay with Noureddine and maintain a traditional family: ‘I felt that failure with my son’s dad when we broke up but he moved on and has three other kids now and they are part of our life.’.
Alison added on This Morning that she’s ‘thankful’ they’ve been able to successfully co-parent. Their relationship brought her the best gift – Aidan, who arrived into the world on Alison’s 30th birthday. She now regularly describes him as her twin who was just born 30 years later in 2005.
