"Well, I'd still go for more if I were younger," she shared. "I like the idea of a house that's full to the brim, but we won't have any more children now. If we were in a position to, we've both said that maybe we'd adopt another child."

Alex and Charlie were married on 31 December 2015

"Sometimes, that is tricky, because your mindset doesn't necessarily flip as quickly as you want it to." Despite the challenges, Alex confessed she has been enjoying spending extra time with her loved ones during lockdown. Her husband, an insurance broker, has also been working from home.

"Oh, Mam! Oh, Mam! It's not going to be very long [until we reunite] what is it, five days? It's been four very long months," said an emotional Alex. "Normally, Mam's very put-together, but this is the first time I've seen her get quite emotional."
