What is This Morning star Alison looking for in a man?

Alison previously revealed to Closer that she’d like to date someone who doesn’t know who she is.

“It would be lovely to meet someone who hasn’t got a clue who I am. Wherever I go I always get recognised, but I like it, it’s nice – I don’t mind it,” she said.

“I always say it’s nice to make an effort with people because you don’t know what you’ve done for that person – you might have uplifted them one day when they were feeling down.”
