The former Big Brother contestant has gone away with her son and her godsons to Norfolk for a few days, and shared a lovely selfie of them all together on Instagram. She wrote: "Lovely memories being made in @darwinescapes this week with this lovely bunch. Hope you're all having lush times with your families this summer!!" The star then included the hashtags "#summerholidays#family #son #godsons#livingmybestlife #norfolk."

Alison recently opened up about how she struggles to juggle her TV work while raising her son alone in Birmingham. The star told The Mirror in 2018: "I'm concentrating on This Morning and being a parent. Trying to find that balance is hard, sometimes I don't get it completely right. I have got a 12-year-old son and I do want to be there for him. It's just trying to get that balance." She also revealed that Aiden isn't at all bothered about his mum being on TV. "He follows me on Instagram, so he'll come home and say, 'Oh you're married to The Roc, is he my step-dad now mum?' Kids don't watch TV, they watch YouTube. No kid of 12 or 13 watch TV so he's really not bothered. He's been born into this so this has been his life."
