Addressing her followers, the TV star said: "Say hello, this is Sabrina… Isn't she the prettiest little kitten you've ever seen.
"She's settling in well, not too sure about Scout [Alex's dog] yet, which is fair enough but he's being really gentle… Look at her. Isn't she adorable."

"Her name is Sabrina, named by @emmafreud after Sabrina Thwaite from the Archers and we all agree that it suits her down to the ground."

Stunned by the sweet update, Alex's fans and friends quickly flooded the comments section with heartfelt messages.

Lucky little Sabrina!" and a third commented: "She is so beautiful and looks like she has settled in well."

"It was a huge shock but I've fallen head over heels with little Scout, we all have. The children's faces were a picture!!! I've never had a dog before so any puppy advice would be most welcome."
Alex's family life
Alex and Charlie are doting parents to three children: sons Teddy and Kit, and a daughter called Annie. While the pair initially raised their brood in West London, they decided to up sticks last summer in search of more outdoor space.
Their new countryside home appears to be an ongoing project, with the couple renovating an array of rooms including their "time capsule" kitchen.
Reflecting on their family upheaval, Alex told her social media followers at the time: "It was a big decision to leave West London where we have been very happy for 14 years but we wanted the children to have space to play outside and to grow up in nature. It took nearly 4 years of searching to find the 'one'."
