She then heartbreakingly added: “I think that’s the reason why I put on so much weight, because I don’t care, I don’t love myself.

“Maybe I’m not ready for a relationship yet. Because I don’t love me.”

Alison recently admitted to taking a shine to fellow Celebs Go Dating star James Locke – but sadly, feelings weren’t reciprocated.

Alsion revealed on This Morning: “He actually said, ‘Alison, you’re my perfect girlfriend personality-wise.’ – I was absolutely devastated.

“So I went to the gym and worked out! So personality-wise I’m his perfect girl.”
