Speaking to Gyles Brandreth on his Rosebud podcast she said: "I think as soon as I hear the word marriage, I get cold feet. I think I’m just one of those people. I always think there’s something better but get a bit nervous to know 'that is it'.
"I just feel like I'm tied down and I don’t like it, when really and truly I’m getting to that age now where I think, 'Alison, let go – it’s OK to settle down'." Alison also clarified that she was never married to the father of her son, Noureddine Boufaied.
She was in a relationship with the cab driver in the early 2000s and fell pregnant with Aiden, 18, three years later. Alison continued to Gyles: "A lot of people think I've been married… I've never been married... It was the perfect time but I don’t feel like we were ready.
"[Noureddine] had the most beautiful smile and that’s what I fell in love with… Aiden’s got that smile as well. I absolutely love my own company. I have no problem with being on my own. In fact, I really quite like it."
