In the pink: Barbiecore explained

Appearing on Gabby Logan's podcast, Midpoint, the presenter revealed that her insurance broker husband Charlie Thomson has taken a number of steps to help get him to a "way better place" than he was last year.

"I think it was a way for him as well to fill his days in a sense when he wasn't feeling well. And he decided to take on this kind of role of, right well we've got the medication but I'm going to see what else I can do to help myself."

Alex and Charlie tied the knot on 31 December 2015. They hosted their wedding ceremony in Cardiff Castle's stone-vaulted 15th-century undercroft, followed by a reception in the castle's 18th-century library and dining room.

The couple went on to welcome three adorable children: Teddy, five, Kit, three, and baby daughter, Annie.
