Alex Jones announces new pet
The One Show presenter shared her excitement via an Instagram post. In the video, Alex narrated the story to the camera.
“So, I have a bit of news,” she began. “On Monday night – and it’s taken me a few days to process it – I came home and Charlie was standing in the middle of the drive with what I thought was a jumper. And then, this black jumper moved.
“I got out of the car and said, ‘Whose dog is that?’ and he said, ‘It’s ours.’ We have a new arrival – come here, Scout! We have a new little baby. He’s 10 and a half weeks old – he’s gorgeous.”
As she concluded the video, Scout ran into frame. Alex picked him up to show her followers.
“I absolutely love him,” she gushed.
Alongside her video, Alex requested puppy advice from her followers. “Big news!!! There is a new addition to the family and it was a COMPLETE SURPRISE (thanks Charlie),” she wrote.
“It was a huge shock but I’ve fallen head over heels with little Scout, we all have. The children’s faces were a picture!!! I’ve never had a dog before so any puppy advice would be most welcome.”
Fans react
The announcement captivated the hearts of her followers, who quickly took to the comments section to express their excitement.
Her former The One Show co-star Matt Baker commented: “Best thing you can do for the family – here for you with all the training tips.”
“Oh my goodness, what a stunner. Labradors are the most incredible additions to a family, I hope Scout brings you many happy moments,” one fan gushed.
“Awww he’s gorgeous,” another wrote.
“Aww gorgeous, we have a black lab and they’re the best!” A third added.
Many fans also came in with helpful tips for the presenter.
“Throw away all your light-coloured clothes and upgrade your vacuum,” one advised the star.
Another suggested: “Start the training today!!!! Get them crate trained in house and car straight away.”
