Alex Jones has shared a glimpse inside her bittersweet family milestone with youngest son Kit, and her little daughter, Annie.
Over on Instagram, the BBC star, 46, shared a precious snapshot of her little ones enjoying a tender embrace ahead of Kit's "new chapter" at school.
Kit, four, was pictured looking smart in his brand-new blue school uniform. Prepped for his big day, the youngster could be seen wearing a bright blue rucksack equipped with a matching blue water bottle.
He looked so sweet in the image as he sweetly hugged his little sister Annie who stood next to her big brother wearing a simple white T-shirt and a pair of colourful leggings.

Detailing her rollercoaster of emotions, the former Strictly contestant continued: "Me, I didn't handle it with quite as much poise. So proud of this tenacious little boy but I'll miss our mornings."
Fans and friends were quick to send their support, with one follower sympathising: "I feel your pain, it's so hard," while another wrote: "Such a gorgeous photo! Good luck to him. Often so much harder for the mummy's."

Alex shares Kit, Annie and six-year-old Teddy with her husband Charlie Thomson. Since welcoming her brood, the TV star has been incredibly open and honest about the realities of juggling a career with parenthood.

"I try to be the best mother I can be, but some days I'm absolutely awful at it. Life isn't a series of perfect days where work is going amazingly, and you're a brilliant wife… That's how it is for everybody I think, but people are just too scared to say it."

Speaking exclusively to HELLO! magazine in 2021, the brunette beauty explained: "No, this is it. Even the grandparents went, 'Oh my gosh, we're really excited but this is it then, isn't it? This is it.'

"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."
