When did Shop Well for Less host Alex Jones give birth and what is her baby’s name?
ALEX Jones isn't back on The One Show just yet, but she will be returning to BBC1 in the upcoming series of Shop Well for Less.
And you won't have to wait long as the show premieres tonight on BBC1. Here's all you need to know about the television presenter who recently welcomed her second child into the world.
When did Alex Jones give birth to her second baby?
Alex gave birth to her second child at 2:21 am on May 13, 2019 at Queen Charlotte Hospital.
A week later on May 20, the telly presenter called into The One Show to tell her co-host Matt Baker and viewers:"We are now a family of four. He was born last Monday morning. We've had a lovely week getting used to being a family of four and introducing him to Teddy.
"I was a bit worried but Teddy has taken to it like a duck to water, being a big brother. He says: 'Love you baby.'
"He thinks that we're going to call the baby Thomas after Thomas the Tank Engine, so breaking the news is going to be tricky."
The presenter then took to Instagram and told fans: "And then there were 4!!! Little kit Thomson arrived safely and very speedily last Monday at 2.21am weighing a healthy 7lbs 3.
"Teddy, Charlie and I are absolutely besotted by baby brother and are enjoying this special time as we get used to being a foursome and generally breathing in that lovely newborn smell!!!
Alex concluded: "A huge thank you to the midwives at the birth centre, Queen Charlotte Hospital for everything you did for us. #nhsheroes".
What else do we know about Alex Jones' new baby?
Baby Kit is a little boy - making him the happy couple's second son after first child Teddy, who was born in 2017.
In December 2018, Jones revealed in an Instagram video that she and her husband were not aware of their baby's gender.
In quite the candid message, Alex continued by adding that she'd been contemplating on finding out her baby's sex once she gives birth.
Alex and Charlie chose not to find out the gender of their first child Teddy.
When is she expected to return to The One Show?
In one of her final episodes before going on maternity leave, Alex Jones confirmed that she'll be returning in the autumn.
While she hasn't specified a particular date, it would seem like she's nearing for a September return.
She explained: "It feels weird, doesn’t it. It will go quick. I’ll be back in the autumn. Keep the seat warm".
Alex took a four-month break from the BBC One show in 2017 when she welcomed her firstborn, but started off slow by opting to only work two days a week.
Gradually, she felt well enough to take on her daily duties again, but it seems promising that Alex will definitely be back by September.
When did Alex Jones announce her pregnancy? And did she ever reveal her due date?
Alex was reported to be expecting her second baby sometime in spring - however, the exact date was never publicised.
The Welsh presenter announced the news on The One Show on December 10, 2018.
Holding her belly, she said: "Now, I've not been on the mince pies! There is a little baby - look."
She later posted a video on her Instagram, explaining that they don't know the gender of the baby and might choose to not find out until the birth, like they did with their first baby.
Alex went on to say that she wasn't sure when to share the news but after her belly "popped" she decided to announce it.
Who is the father of Alex Jones' children and are they married?
In May Alex gave birth to her second child with husband Charlie Thomson.
She got engaged to the New Zealand native insurance broker in February 2015 after meeting at a party back in 2011.
The couple tied the knot the same year at Cardiff Castle on December 31.
Less than a year later, they announced they were expecting their first child.
How many children does Alex Jones have?
Alex and her husband have two sons.
Their first child is named Edward Alun Burrell Thomson - but his mum and dad call him Teddy.
He was born on January 22, 2017.
Teddy was joined by little brother Kit on May 13, 2019.
