Alex Jones has been making the most of her final days as a mother-of-two. The One Show presenter, who is set to welcome her third child with husband Charlie Thomson any day now, has been spending quality time with her sons Teddy, four, and Kit, two, during her maternity leave, as well as following her doctor's orders in a bid to induce labour.

"It's not the best of weather... It's actually throwing it down now. Coat and a hood. Still nice to be outside."

Gentle exercise is said to be one of the best ways to induce labour naturally, as well as sexual intercourse, eating spicy foods, taking herbal remedies like castor oil and acupuncture sessions.

She captioned the photo: "And just like that it's time to say goodbye to the show temporarily and get ready to welcome our little girl. Thank you to everyone who sent their best wishes tonight.

"You'll know that I'm prone to a good cry on the show at the best of times but seeing those messages at the end, especially from mum and dad and Charlie really set me off.

Alex concluded by saying: "That is actually the last time ever that I'll sit on that particular sofa as we are having a bit of a revamp over the summer hols. Feeling full up with love, gratitude and chips."
