Alison Hammond has given fans a sneak peek of her upcoming TV series with son Aidan, Florida Unpacked. The mother-son duo will explore the Sunshine State in the new Two travel show, which will premiere on 27 January.
Billed as “escapism” for viewers, Florida Unpacked promises to showcase Alison and Aidan’s journey as they discover “hidden treasures, bask in the Florida sun, and share top budget travel tips”, all while offering a glimpse into their close-knit relationship.
Aidan, 19, confessed that he “really enjoyed” his first professional collaboration with his mum despite a few hiccups along the way.
Ahead of the show’s debut, he shared: “I really enjoyed it, especially the car rides. There was just so much laughter. But also, loads of arguments – mainly about directions! She always thought she knew where she was going, and I’d be telling her she was going the wrong way.”

On the other hand, Alison praised her son’s work ethic during their joint venture, admitting she was pleasantly “surprised” at how well he coped with the demands of filming, reports .
“It was Aidan’s first time filming, so it felt like I had a work experience apprentice with me,” she expressed.
“It was eye-opening to see how he approached it, and I realised he has the same work ethic as me – early mornings, late nights – he handled it really well! I was quite surprised, to be honest. You know how teenagers can be, but he was great!”

The television personality and her son clearly enjoy a tight-knit relationship. Alison confessed that Aidan “has the best time” accompanying her on trips, despite also travelling with his friends.
She shared: “He absolutely loves it. He’s always asking, ‘Can I come?’. The other day, he was saying how much fun we have together I bring the lols, I am the life and soul, and he realises that.
“He’s been on plenty of trips with his friends, but he always says he has the best time with me.”
