"We have exhausted every puzzle, every scrapbook, every bit of Play-Doh, every book. We are just going around in circles," she shared.

However, despite the struggle, the mum-of-two has treasured the extra time with her family as three-year-old Teddy would usually be at nursery four mornings a week. Of her insurance broker husband being at home, Alex joked: "I now have to get into bed by climbing over his office chair."

The doting mum revealed that she is the early riser in their household, adding: "My husband is amazing, but he's hopeless in the morning." This has meant Alex cannot go for her morning runs. "I just lift Kit up and do squats holding Ted, and they think it's brilliant!" she continued. "Though, I'll be honest. I'm quite excited to have an hour to myself just to go to the gym [when they reopen] – and I hate the gym!"

Meanwhile, Alex is currently enjoying a two-week break from her presenting duties, and has travelled to her native Wales with her family. She continued filming the BBC series during the most challenging of times. Sharing her gratitude, Alex explained: "I guess I just sort of crack on, really. 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."
