Pregnant Alex Jones shows off growing baby bump in floral maternity dress

ALEX Jones looks beautiful as she shows off her growing baby bump

The star was snapped wearing a pretty floral dress as she filmed BBC’s The One Show.

The 39-year-old presenter is expecting her first child with husband Charlie Thomson.

She was also spotted giving actress Rosamund Pike a big hug, like they were old friends.

The pair seemed good mates, and even sported similar flowery dresses.

Alex previously revealed she feared she might not ever conceive after learning last year that her mother went through the menopause at 44, admitting that she was 38 and “terrified.”

She told This Morning “My mum went through the menopause at 44 and that’s six years older than me,” she told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

“I wasn’t pregnant when I filmed the documentary. I was 38 and it was terrifying. I was naïve. I knew age impacts your fertility but I didn’t realise to what extent.”

She added that she never knew that her mum went through the menopause at such a young age and dismissed the suggestion that she had put her career before having children, explaining that she had simply met husband Charlie later in life.

“Mum and I never talked about it, it never came up. I always wanted a family. Mum never put pressure on me or my sister to have kids.

“She probably thought I didn’t need to know it.

“I’m not just a career girl. No one leaves it late on purpose. For me, family is a number one priority. I didn’t meet my husband til later on in life. I thought it would be OK.”

Alex, who announced her pregnancy at the start of last month, added: “At the age of 35, your fertility falls off a cliff. It feels young but there are lots of techniques these days.

“Having said that, people don’t always meet the person earlier in life. But it’s not a dead loss, people differ inside depending on how you take care of yourself.”
