Alison Hammond is set to lead a new Channel 4 show made by the creators of The Great British Bake Off.

The This Morning star, 50, already has a jam-packed schedule joining Dermot O'Leary on ITV, fronting her own programme Alison Hammond's Big Weekend, filming For The Love Of Dogs in Battersea, and hosting Bake Off.

And the TV icon has now added another show to her long list, and will present Your Song, a new Channel 4 programme set to air in the summer.

Produced by Love Production - who are behind the Great British Bake Off, Alison will tour Britain in the six-part series to watch members of the public preform songs with special significance to them.

An insider told The Sun: 'Alison was the natural choice to present this, with her warm personality and ability to catch unguarded moments with the singers, together with chatting to the crowds.'

'Your Song will feature people who love singing — they may have been singing for a long time but not necessarily in public or on a stage, you can expect some unexpected performances.' 

Alison said she is 'really excited' for the new series and gushed over the emotional 'power' of music and singing. 

'I'm really excited about this new show which is about real people telling us their stories, through song….let's hit the road,' she added.

Channel 4 bosses Cimran Shah and Tim Hancock said: 'This show is going to be warm, joyful and feature some absolutely knock-out singers. 

'Whether they're 7 or 70 years old, this show is all about celebrating the best unknown singing talent in Britain, we can't wait to see who steps onto stage.' 

Alison is also set to join the new series of the hit Channel 4 show Celebrity Gogglebox alongside her son Aidan, 19.

Producers were left impressed with the mother-son duo after they recently fronted a BBC Two holiday show, Florida Unpacked.

They will now be among the new star pairings to appear on Gogglebox to raise money for Stand Up For Cancer, with the release date yet to be confirmed. 

In her personal life, Alison also recently revealed her health and fitness regime after dropping 11-stone.

The presenter decided to lose weight after the death of her mother Maria - who had raised concerns over Alison's pre-diabetic diagnosis.

She then revealed how she managed to lose 11-stone without the assistance of weight-loss jabs, giving an insight into her exercise plan with her personal trainer.

Alison, who weighed 28-stone at her heaviest, told Heat: 'I've got a personal trainer - she's amazing, she trains me when I can train. 

'If I'm working, I don't train, I'll go for a walk.

'But when I'm at home, I'll go and have a session with her in the morning, just an hour. It might be four days a week.'

She also revealed her approach to her diet, saying she hasn't cut anything out completely but focuses on 'moderation'. 

'I don't deny myself anything, I eat everything, but in moderation,' she added.

Alison previously told how weight loss jabs weren't for her, opting against using them because she was 'frightened' of 'scary' stories surrounding them.

She told Good Housekeeping UK: 'I think that, for people who need to use them, they're a good thing - but for me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened. 

'So I haven't wanted to use them, but that's not to say I wouldn't in the future, and I certainly wouldn't look down on anyone who did.'
