Alex Jones has posted a lovely photo of her baby bump alongside her son, Kit, on the beach as she enjoys her family holiday by the sea.

The One Show host shared a picture of her and Kit's shadow on the sand as they held hands on the shore, and added the caption: "Kit, me and number 3."

Fans were loving the arty snap, with one commenting: "What a lovely photo."

What to read next

Another added: "Number 3 seems to be blossoming."

The TV presenter is expecting her third child with husband Charlie. They are already parents to Teddy, aged four, and Kit, aged two. Alex recently confirmed that she was having a baby girl while presenting The One Show with co-host Ronan Keating.

"It just seems like a good time to share some news with everybody, and the crew in the studio for the first time," the 44-year-old said.

"Lockdown's been anything but predictable and we've had some really unexpected news – baby number three is on the way!"

Speaking of the surprise pregnancy, she told the Daily Mail: "It was a funny thing because we hadn't necessarily planned on a third because we thought... We were so grateful to have the two boys and we just thought: ‘There you are’.

“So, it was a huge surprise. And when we also realised that it was a girl, we were just ecstatic. Because I don't know, it wasn't something that we ever expected, but actually three feels great and nice.

"And it'll be hellish at times, I'm sure, because we'll have three under four and a half, so it'll be quite demanding. We just feel super lucky, super lucky that it's happened."

Angela Scanlon is standing in for Alex on The One Show this week.
