"Stayed at a hotel for work last night for the first time in over a year," she told fans. "Nice to have a full night's sleep and a quiet bath this morning.
"But FaceTimed the poor little bears at home and they were so upset because they can't understand why I'm not there."

Alex previously admitted it had been challenging at times balancing work with parenting during the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to The Telegraph's Stella Magazine in July 2020, the presenter said: "We have exhausted every puzzle, every scrapbook, every bit of Play-Doh, every book. We are just going around in circles."
However, the star also shared that she felt fortunate to be able to balance work and home life. She went on to add: "I've just felt lucky to still be able to work, because I know a lot of people in our industry who have struggled with the fact that all their work has just disappeared."
