The One Show host Alex Jones had her last day at work on Friday, and ever since she's been settling into maternity leave ahead of her second baby's arrival in the next few months. And it looks like she is having a wonderful time relaxing too. On Tuesday, the pregnant star posted a photo on Instagram Stories which gave a glimpse into her stunning family home. Taken from the comfort of the sofa, Alex took a picture of her TV screen as she watched popular comedy series Fleabag. "Finally had to succumb and lay down. It's actually bliss," Alex wrote.

Alex and husband Charlie Thomson are expecting their second baby very soon. She announced her pregnancy last year by sharing a video and showing off her growing bump. "So we've got a little bit of news – Charlie and I are expecting another little baby in the new year, a little brother or sister for little Teddy…" said Alex. "I didn't know when to tell everybody and when to share the news, I was a bit nervous about it and I didn't want to do it too soon. But as every mum will know, you get to a certain point and you just pop! I'll show you… which is what's happened. Look – this weekend, there it is, there's no hiding it anymore."
