Alison Hammond left This Morning fans divided when she made a shock confession during Friday’s episode. 

The presenter, 49, and her co-host Dermot O’Leary, 51, were discussing how parents use Apple AirTags to track their young children when Alison made a realisation.

‘I’ve just realised, I’m still tracking my 19-year-old, you know you’ve got Find A Friend on your phone, I’ve got it on him and he’s got it on me,’ she exclaimed.

Alison, shares her only child Aidan, 19, with ex husband Noureddine Boufaied, and revealed she likes to see where he is when he’s away from home.

She continued: ‘I just like seeing it, I know he’s in Ibiza at the moment and I like to see when he’s back at the hotel. I just want to know that he’s okay.’

Alison added: ‘He loves it, instead of him having to phone me, he does like phoning me as well, he likes to know I’ve got to the hotel okay.

‘Sometimes he’ll phone up and go: ‘What are you doing there?’ and I go: ‘None of your business!’”

Sharing their thoughts on X, some viewers agreed with the presenters whilst others disagreed with tracking children.

They wrote: ‘Alison and Ben keeping tabs on their almost adult teenagers!’; ‘You’re going to make them paranoid’; ‘I don’t have to track my husband. I know he’s either working late, away or playing golf.’

Others shared: ‘I’ve currently got Apple Airtags tracking – my toddler, my keys, my wallet, my wife’s handbag (at her request) & my car’; ‘Tag them children!’; ‘You can tag a child for safety in a busy place and also empower them to stand up for themselves. The 2 aren’t mutually exclusive.’

Back in May, Aidan shared a hilarious video of himself ‘high as a kite’ and slurring his words while coming round from anaesthetic after having his tonsils removed.

The TV presenter and her son both shared clips of Aidan struggling to speak shortly after undergoing the surgery.

Sitting in his hospital bed, Aidan spoke to his mother who was filming him, saying: ‘I got my tonsils out, feeling good.

Slurring his words slightly, he added: ‘Don’t know what all the fuss is about really, it’s fine, it’s fine.’

Alison could then be heard saying: ‘Have a lick of ice-cream,’ before Aidan replied: ‘I’m not allowed, shh.’

Aidan captioned the video, Aidan wrote: ‘Aidan 1 – tonsils 0 and Me high as a [kite]’.

This Morning star Alison commented on the post with: ‘My poor baby’.
