ALISON Hammond has described her romantic getaway with her new boyfriend as a ‘like a dream’ and ‘unforgettable’.
The 49-year-old headed to Port Lympne Zoo in Kent alongside Russian masseuse David Putman, 26, and was spotted looking very loved up with him.
She later revealed they had in fact stayed at the zoo – at the luxurious Lion Lodge – sleeping alongside the lions themselves.
Sharing a video of her stay, Alison told fans: “What a lovely stay at @portlympnepark A superb hotel and reserve!
“Staying at the lyons lodge was a dream and truely unforgettable . thanks for the invite and looking after me.”
If Alison’s trip wasn’t gifted, prices for the five star zoo experience start at £1,450 a night – and includes a golf buggy to take you around the reserve.
The stunning lodges feature picture windows in both the king-size master bedroom and the open plan living area and are located within the lion’s natural and spacious habitat.
There is a balcony, and outdoor bath on a platform overlooking the lions.
Alison and David were seen zipping around the place in their buggy, laughing and joking – as Alison wrapped her arm around him.
The This Morning presenter was beaming as she walked around with the 6ft 10 hunk.
Earlier this week The Sun revealed Alison and David met after she booked £150 massage sessions with him.
She regularly booked the body therapist and model in between her busy filming schedule.
Alison and David’s friendship then turned romantic at the end of last year.
It is understood the couple have become extremely close having known each other for over a year.
And a pal said David would not be concerned by the 23-year age gap between him and Alison.
They said: “David is a very quiet, unassuming and thoughtful person who likes to play the guitar.
“He’s the strong, silent type, not a pushover, but not chatty like Alison.
“In that sense they’re perfect for each other and to David age is just a number.
“He’s not bothered by fame, he probably didn’t even know who Alison was when they first met.”
