The presenter, who is now taking a break from the show, shared a clip of her walking to her scan appointment on her Instagram Stories.

"Morning," she said. "I'm really excited this morning because I'm going for a scan and it's always nice to check up on little miss and see how she's doing."

She added: "And miracle of miracles, I've remembered my notes. Third time, I should know right? But every time I forget the notes, so so far, it's a nice day. Happy Friday!"

The 44-year-old looked beautiful as she walked to her appointment in a lovely floral lavender top.

Once her scan was complete, she shared an adorable image of her unborn daughter, calling her "my dinky doughnut".

"Hello 3rd trimester," she simply remarked on Instagram Stories.

During an exclusive chat with HELLO!, Alex opened up about her pregnancy. "We're really excited. It was a huge surprise and the very best type of surprise," she said.

"We didn't see it coming and we're just embracing it and kind of bracing ourselves at the same time for what it will mean to have four… Four?! My brain's gone!"

On having a daughter, Alex added: "Oh delighted. I mean, neither of us said anything of the sort, we were like, 'Oh, it'll probably be three boys,' and you know, 'That will be nice'.

The Welsh presenter is already mum to two sons

"When we opened the email and it told us what sex the baby was - oh my god, we were ecstatic, 'Oh how lovely to have a little change'."

She added: "And a little girl! I hate to say it, but that has just been the icing on the cake. I do have this paranoia that have they actually checked properly?

"I keep asking when I go for these scans, 'Can you just check that it is a girl?' and they're like 'Yes, there's no penis,' and I'm, 'Ok.' But a tiny part of me is, 'What if I've told everyone it's a girl, and it's a boy!'"
