Alison Hammond asked if she would have liked a Strictly chaperone Alison Hammond has opened up on rumours that Strictly Come Dancing bosses are considering employing chaperones for the celebrity contestants. The 49-year-old This Morning presenter, who competed on the BBC dance show in 2014 with professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec, has shared her thoughts on the huge show shake-up.
