The This Morning host is reportedly dating the hunky 6ft 10in model, and the surprising way the couple met has now been revealed with their relationship blossoming from the moment Alison booked David for a £150 massage. Originally from Krasnodar in Russia, David left the country for the UK in December 2022 to escape the front line following President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. David's father is reportedly a retired welder and panel beater who moved to Russia in the late 1990s after marrying Russian architect Olga Kovalenko following a divorce from his first wife.
