After a brief return to the UK in early January, she then headed off to Portugal to stay at Juicy Oasis, a health retreat run by celebrity lifestyle coach Jason Vale – known as the Juice Master.
Taking to her Stories whilst there, Alex detailed her day at the retreat, which included a hike with incredible views, a "freshly made ginger shot" and a football match with the rest of the attendees.
The star also delighted fans by sharing a video taken by the villa's swimming pool. "Can't really complain, look" she told her fans as she lay on a lounger and showed them the villa's incredible mountain views.
