A giggling Alison Hammond stepped out for the first time in public with her new Russian toy boy boyfriend David Putman. 

The This Morning host, 49, is dating the hunky 6ft 10in model, who is 23 years her junior and is also a masseur. 

And on Friday, Alison and David cosied up with the presenter wrapping her arms around him as they enjoyed a romantic break at Port Lympne Safari Park in Kent. 

The pair reportedly spent the night together in one of the two luxury Lodges which allow visitors to stay with the lions.

Alison bundled up in a khaki coat and blue jeans, teamed with gold sandals and orange tinted sunglasses.

Meanwhile, David looked smart in a beige trench coat, teamed with khaki chinos and brown shoes.

Alison is said to have a new lease of life after finding love with David.

Earlier this week, the surprising way the couple met was revealed with their relationship blossoming from the moment Alison booked David for a £150 massage.

According to The Sun, Alison was a client of the professional masseur and it was during a session that the pair first hit it off, with the presenter visiting David in between her busy filming schedule.

Their friendship then reportedly turned romantic at the end of last year, despite the 23 year age gap between the pair.

Originally from Krasnodar in Russia, David left the country for the UK in December 2022 to escape the front line following President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

A friend of David told the publication: ' When the war in Ukraine began David's mother Olga began to worry. She didn't want her boys dragged into it. She wanted them safe like any mother would.'

David therefore moved to the UK, where he now lives with his uncle Nigel Putman, 71, in Slough, but he spends a lot of time in London for work.

David's pal also emphasised that the age gap between the pair is not a concern at all and he won't be phased at all by her career in the spotlight

They explained: '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.'

The friend explained that David was able to avoid being drafted into the Russian army as his father, also called David, is originally from Slough himself, therefore the young masseur already had British citizenship. 

David's father is reportedly a retired welder and panel beater who moved to Russia in the late 1990s after marrying Russian architect Olga Kovalenko following a divorce from his first wife. 

David also has two brother, twins Apollo and Sviatoslov, who are three years older than him and were born in England.

MailOnline have contacted Alison's representatives for comment.

Alison recently shared snaps of her and David together on social media including one where they cosied up together with their arms wrapped around each other on a country walk.

David is thought to be around 23 years younger than Alison, 49, and she is said to be 'happier than ever' with her new partner following a 'turbulent love life'.

'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.'

The Sun also reportedly spoke to David himself, but he wouldn't yet speak about his reasons for leaving Russia or relationship with Alison.

Alison hinted at their growing relationship back in November when she liked David's post documenting a recent trip to Dublin.

A source told The Sun : 'Alison has never been happier. She has had a turbulent love-life, but is finally confident she has found a trusted companion.'
