The TV presenter, 49, said she believes that making Aidan pay for bed and board at the family home is a ‘life lesson’ adding that he is ‘getting a good deal’

Alison then explained that she charges Aidan just £40 a month and was ‘teaching him’ that nothing in life comes for free adding: ‘He’s getting a good deal!’

She went on to reveal that he pays her in cash, which she uses for beauty treatments.

Speaking on the Parenting Hell podcast, hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, Alison spoke about the arrangement.

She confessed: ‘I absolutely love it. I go and get my eyebrows done, I go and get my nails done, and I pay in cash – perfect.’

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant also revealed that Aidan – who she labels her ‘greatest achievement’ – watches the football through SkyTV which she charges him a further £30 a month for.

Alison is estimated to have a net worth as high as £4 million said she thinks it’s important for her only child to learn how to ‘pay his way’, while laughing as she referred to herself as ‘the landlady’.

Also during the podcast, Alison broke her silence on her new romance with toyboy boyfriend David Putman, 26.

David is thought to be around 20 years younger than Alison and she is said to be ‘happier than ever’ with her new partner following a ‘turbulent love life’.

Alison shares Aiden, 19, with her former husband Noureddine Boufaied

The Brummie born presenter has been dating the Russian masseur since she booked him for a £150 massage and the pair hit it off.

Their friendship reportedly turned romantic at the end of last year, despite the 23 year age gap between the pair.

Speaking on the podcast, Rob and Josh grilled the TV star as they asked: ‘Are you single Alison?’

Acting coy, she gushed: ‘No… I’m not single.. I’m dating. I’m dating!’

Alison is mother to her only child, Aidan, who she shares with her former husband Noureddine Boufaied, and Rob and Josh asked about the complexities of dating now her son is almost an adult.

At 19-years-old, Aidan is only a few years younger than her new boyfriend David who is thought to be in his mid twenties.

Explaining the struggles, Alison confessed: ‘It’s more difficult, he is more verbal now that he is older. He’ll want to know who this person is and he’ll want to meet them.

‘It’s a lot harder. He’ll wanna know that this guy is treating me well.

‘The person who I am seeing at the moment, he is on his Instagram and is like “yeah I like him, he’s not too in your face”. Aidan is on it.’

Last month Alison shared snaps of her and David together on social media including one where they cosied up together with their arms wrapped around each other on a country walk.

Discussing the first time David and her son met, she revealed: ‘When they actually met, he really liked him, he really thought he was lovely, so that’s nice.

‘Thank goodness for that! Because normally Aidan hates anybody I date, literally just not interested.

‘And you just know at that point, if Aidan doesn’t like them, this isn’t gonna work. There are moments where I think, “who’s the parent here?!”

‘It’s nice though because I always feel like there’s someone there looking over me, protecting me.’
