Alex also delighted Instagram fans when she shared the first snap of her baby boy, uploading a gorgeous photo of his hand wrapped around her finger.

Charlie and I are head over heels in love. A special thank you to the amazing midwives in the Queen Charlotte hospital for everything you did for us. We are so excited and grateful to be in the parent club."

During the two-week trip, Alex treated fans to a black-and-white photo of her then husband-to-be. She joked: "My travel companion looking earnest....but probably just wondering what time lunch will be served. #indochina."

Alongside the photo of Alex and Charlie looking perfectly relaxed and rested, she wrote: "A perfect weekend in Gothenburg."

But most impressive of all was Alex and Charlie's gruelling hike up Sigiriya, also known as The Lion Rock of Sri Lanka. "This morning's mission is to get to the top of this. It's the 8th wonder of the ancient world," wrote Alex, adding "#getasweaton".

The picture proved a hit with Alex's fans, with one commenting, "Ch cha Charlie total legend!" and another writing, "Hello Charlie Bear! Xx."
