Presenter Alex Jones has revealed that she has "some news" as she issued a family update to her fans. On social media, the BBC The One Show host revealed that she and her family had adopted a little cat.

In a post shared on Instagram, the presenter described the cat as the "most perfect little kitty kat" and that her family was "obsessed". It comes after the presenter and her family got a black Labrador puppy named Scout in 2024. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter.

The presenter explained that the cat had been named Sabrina, thanks to the help of Emma Freud, Red Nose Day director and wife of Richard Curtis. In the caption, Alex Jones wrote: "We have some news. Over the weekend we picked up the newest member of the family and we are all sooooo in LOVE especially the children!

"Her name is Sabrina named by @emmafreud after Sabrina Thwaite from the Archers and we all agree that it suits her down to the ground. We are slowly introducing her to our other baby Scout and he’s been amazing and so gentle. Thank you Emma and Richard for the most perfect little kitty kat. We're obsessed!"

In the video, the presenter revealed more about the new addition to her family. In the clip, she said: "Morning, I don't really want to go to work today because over the weekend... say hello to Sabrina. This is Sabrina.

"Sabrina, say hello! Isn't she the prettiest little kitten you've ever seen? She's settling in well, not too sure of Scouty yet, which is fair enough, but he's being very gentle and good with her. Look at her, look at her. Isn't she adorable?"

Many fans reacted to the news, with some gushing at how "adorable" little Sabrina was. "So cute! Wait until she climbs up those curtains," one said. "Awww, Sabrina is gorgeous and love her name," another one said.

Sabrina is the second addition to the family within the year, as last August they had a dog named Scout. More on that, here.

Alex and husband Charlie Thomson are the proud parents to three children: Teddy, Kit, and Annie. The family recently moved from their house of 11 years — you can read more about that here..
