ALISON Hammond has become a firm TV favourite, but she’s already wishing to have time away from the camera.
The TV presenter is best known for her stints on This Morning and on The Great British Bake Off, but it appears viewers might be forced to miss her as she plans to take time away from TV.
Speaking to Heat World, Alison revealed: “In the next 10 years, I want to travel the world.
“I would love to take a year off and just go and travel.
“Not just yet, but one day. I need to see the world before I die!”
The potential sabbatical comes as the star’s new travel project Florida Unpacked has failed to win over viewers.
The ten-part show for BBC Two is a move away from Alison’s usual daytime TV, and sees her and son Aidan as they make their way around the very best that Florida has to offer on an affordable budget.
However the series hasn’t gone down well with viewers, who have accused the pair of using a TV show to get what they saw as a free holiday and asked who is paying for all this?
One viewer raged: ” Why the f@#k are us licence payers paying for it ?”
Another said: “Alison Hammond on a free holiday to Florida to see if it’s accessible to poor people. Do p*** off. @BBC #floridaunpacked.”
Speaking previously about the programme, Alison said: “Travel is in my blood. For years I worked as a tour rep following in the footsteps of my dear mum.

“I was so captivated by America’s culture, food, TV shows, and films and some of my happiest memories are tied to those first formative trips to the U.S.
“We managed to budget our way to a place that totally captured our hearts… and now I can’t wait to share Florida’s best kept secrets with you all.”
