The little boys, who Alex shares with husband Charlie Thomson, had ditched their paintbrushes in favour of using their hands, smearing paint all over their pieces of paper, the dining room table and themselves in the process.
The pregnant star panned the camera over the carnage, showing the extent of the mess as the boys plastered the stuff everywhere.

Others had some helpful recommendations to help make the cleaning up process a lot easier next time, with one parent suggesting: "What fun they are having, plastic tablecloth ready and bowl to wash hands, in garden in summer, what memories."

The 44-year-old star chatted to HELLO! this week about how excited she was to discover she is expecting a baby girl.
She told us: "We're really excited. It was a huge surprise and the very best type of surprise. We didn't see it coming and we're just embracing it and kind of bracing ourselves at the same time for what it will mean to have [three]."
Revealing that three children will complete their family unit, Alex said: "[Charlie and I] met a little bit later than I bargained for than when I was in my early twenties. I just thought I've been really lucky to have two healthy boys - fantastic, that's our unit.

"And I suppose I always thought, had we started sooner, three would have been lovely. But I never thought it was going to be an option for us. So yeah, it's really special."
