On This Morning Alex spoke out about her upcoming role on the BBC show and insisted she'll be doing "cooking demos" and is not sure whether she'll work alongside Mary.

Last month there were reports that Paul's new girlfriend and his estranged wife had a row in Marks and Spencer and the police were called, however Alex has denied the rumours.

She told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: "I can categorically say that I did not say those things.

"There was no spat, no fight, no row. I did not call the police. All of the stories that the media ran are so far from the truth that I don’t actually want to comment on them at all.

"But what I can say is that there was no row, I did not use that language, and I think the most important thing for me is to say, at the end of the day, divorce is such a hard thing."

Paul and Alex, who are parents to their son Josh, hit a rough patch in 2013 following reports that he had an affair however the pair moved past it and confirmed they had reunited.
