Despite the fact that Pancake Day is still a week away, the Welsh TV star revealed she told her children it was this week in order to celebrate with them. 

"No @bbctheoneshow tonight so we told the boys it was pancake day because I was at home. Much excitement and now we can't get them to sleep thanks to the sugar!" Alex joked.

At the time, The One Show star took to Instagram to mark her little boy's exciting new milestone.

Alex's sons have been enjoying the snow

As well as a seating area and a shed for storage, there is a large trampoline set up on the lawn and a football visible on the grass. Alex, Charlie and their young family live together in a beautiful Victorian house in London, which the couple renovated together in 2016 before they moved in.

Although Alex has been enjoying spending lots of quality time with her children following the coronavirus outbreak, she also previously made a very relatable parenting comment.

Speaking of 'having it all' to Good Housekeeping, she said: "For me, personally, some days I don't think it's possible. It's a struggle. I try to be the best mother I can be, but some days I'm absolutely awful at it. Life isn't a series of perfect days where work is going amazingly, and you're a brilliant wife… that's how it is for everybody I think, but people are just too scared to say it."
