The One Show presenter Alex Jones didn't realise she was pregnant with her third child - blaming her symptoms on her new vegan diet.
The Ammanford-born host is expecting a daughter with husband Charlie Thomson, who she already has two sons with.
“I just felt really tired but, of course, in hindsight I was pregnant. I thought it was the veganism making me drained of energy but it wasn’t,” she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.
“This is ridiculous in a third pregnancy, but I didn't realise the clues were there because I honestly blamed everything on the veganism. I was so tired and hungry all the time and I thought it was that.
“But I said to my husband that I think we need to do a test. And he said: "What? What?" - anyway, we did a test.”
Alex and Charlie - who are parents to Teddy, four, and Kit, two - were “ecstatic” to find out they were having a girl, which Alex announced on The One Show.
The presenter explained: “It was a funny thing because we hadn't necessarily planned on a third because we thought... We were so grateful to have the two boys and we just thought: ‘There you are.’
“So, it was a huge surprise. And when we also realised that it was a girl, we were just ecstatic. Because I don't know, it wasn't something that we ever expected, but actually three feels great and nice.
“And it'll be hellish at times, I'm sure, because we'll have three under four and a half, so it'll be quite demanding. We just feel super lucky, super lucky that it's happened'."
