Alison Hammond’s new TV role revealed – and it’s worlds away from Bake Off and This Morning
ALISON Hammond has had her new TV role revealed, and it is a very different job from presenting This Morning or Bake Off.
The telly legend has been snapped up by Sky Max for a new comedy game show.
New programme Rob Beckett’s Smart TV is expected to be launched on Sky Max and their streaming platform next year.
And Alison is set to become a team captain for celebs vying to prove they have the best telly knowledge, as comedian Josh Widdicombe heads up the opposing team.
She gushed that being on the show will be like "going for a night out with your mates", and is looking forward to working alongside show host Rob Beckett.
Audiences will also be able to play along from home, making it the perfect entertainment for TV aficionados.

An excited Alison shared: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be a team captain on Smart TV. I understand why they have chosen me - firstly I love TV and secondly, I'm smart. LOL!
"I can't wait to have fun looking at the TV shows I know and love! It's like going out for a night with your mates, doing a quiz and escaping life!"
Rob Beckett added: "I am very excited to be hosting Rob Beckett’s Smart TV. The show was named before I was asked to be the host so as a person named Rob Beckett it seems only fitting that I, Rob Beckett, should be at the helm.
"It’s an honour to work alongside the Queen of TV Alison Hammond and it’s a shame that I can’t seem to shake off Josh Widdicombe. But in the words of Bewitched and some French people ‘C’est La Vie’.
"All the shows have been really funny to film so I can’t wait for everyone to watch them. As well as all the other Rob Beckett’s in the world sat there thinking I could have hosted this."
