Meanwhile, Alexandra recently hinted at the pair looking to welcome a third child, in a chat on Loose Women.

She said: “I returned to work two months after having both babies. I love to work. I want to make them proud. My mum did that with us.

“I’m so desperate for another baby. I would take more time off if I had a third. I don’t regret anything but after that first few months, they’re basically off the college. So I get why people want more time.”
