ALISON Hammond’s toyboy lover has ignored his mum’s pleas to dump her because she is too wealthy.
Masseur David Putman, 26, fell for the This Morning star, 49, after she booked him for a £150 rub-down.
But friends say his Russian mum Olga calls him every day telling him to find a “nice Russian girl”.
One pal revealed: “She thinks Alison is way too old for David and doesn’t like all the attention her TV fame has brought to her son.
“She’s uncomfortable that her son is with someone who has so much more financial power than him.
“Olga’s traditional values don’t sit well with their relationship.
“She’s told him in no uncertain terms that he must end it.
“Olga raised her children in the Orthodox Church. This kind of relationship doesn’t fit her beliefs.”
The friend said Olga, 63, has also been rattled by gossip-mongers in her home city of Sochi.
They added: “She calls her son almost every day and tells him how unhappy she is. But David is happy with his relationship so anything his mum says isn’t going to affect him.”
Alison, worth up to £4million, also hosts The Great British Bake Off and For The Love of Dogs.
She first booked 6ft 10in David in between her busy filming. The friendship turned romantic late last year and he has met her son Aidan, 19.
Pals of David say he left Russia for the UK in December 2022.
His dad, David Sr, met architect Olga after divorcing his first wife and the couple went on to have three boys.
David, their youngest, lives with his uncle Nigel Putman, 71, in Slough, Berks, but spends a lot of time in London for work.
