Meanwhile, Alison opened up about losing both her parents within months of each other.

Alison said: “My mum was diagnosed with cancer. It was bizarre. Within about two months of my mum passing, my dad had a heart attack and had passed away in Jamaica.

“I can speak about it now. Without crying. I have questioned where my drive comes from. Why want to work so hard and why I don’t rest so much.

“I would be interested to know where that drive comes from, I know it comes from my mum, but where did she get it from?”
