"Hey there, so I'm going to explain the last two links that I posted," Alexandra told the camera, adding: "A friend of mine, Calvyn Cass, who happened to do my hair colour for Virgin River for the last two years, is a phenomenal artist and singer.

"He is doing a reality tv show where the voting has just started. The great thing about this, is they've partnered with the Jed Foundation, to raise money for suicide prevention programmes in schools."

The 39-year-old continued: "It's a great cause with a very important message. The song that he posted [is] about his own experience with getting close to suicidal thoughts. [It] was the first song he wrote he got back into music.

"Point is, send him a vote and follow the links that I put, it's for a really good cause and he's a really lovely person. So I hope you're having a good evening and happy Tuesday to you all."
