The One Show's Alex Jones says baby daughter was 'huge surprise' but 'very much wanted'

The One Show presenter Alex Jones revealed her baby daughter, Annie, was a 'huge surprise' as she spoke about her unplanned third pregnancy.

Alex and her husband Charlie Thomson are proud parents Teddy, five, Kit, two, and Annie, who is almost one.

The star, 45, said her daughter has been a 'dream' even if Alex and Charlie weren't exactly expecting another addition to the family.

"Annie was a huge surprise," said Alex. “But she was very much wanted.

"I just love having the three of them. I always wanted a little gang. And Annie is a dream. She’s been the easiest baby."

Alex continued to OK! Magazine : "She’s just lovely and I remind myself every day to tell her when she’s older that she was the most incredible baby. She’s saved us completely. You wouldn’t even know she was there, she’s so good."

Towards the end of August last year, Alex welcomed little Annie and shared the news with her friends and fans.

She shared some sweet snaps of her and her daughter at the hospital.

"We have some news.........Our beautiful daughter came safely into the world on Saturday afternoon 21.08.21. Tiny, but perfectly formed we are all beyond happy and besotted by her, especially Ted and Kit," she said.

"Watching them with their brand new little sister is just the best and we can’t believe how lucky we are to have the 3 of them and to be a family of 5.

"It still doesn’t feel real!!! Thank you to everyone at the Queen Charlotte hospital for all your support again, especially super midwife Audrey."

Alex first shared the pregnancy news in March 2021.

Alex told the MailOnline she originally blamed her symptoms of feeling tired and drained was due to trying out meat and dairy-free vegan diets.

Despite having been pregnant before she said she was oblivious to the signs.

She went on to say that she did not expect the third pregnancy but she and her husband Charlie were 'ecstatic' to be expecting a baby girl despite three children being a bit 'hellish'.

"I just felt really tired but, of course, in hindsight I was pregnant. I thought it was veganism making me drained of energy but it wasn't," Alex said.
