Earlier in the evening, Alex made sure all eyes were on her as she posed up a storm for the cameras.

The renowned Summer Exhibition is a glamorous evening of Champagne and canapés in the beautiful surroundings of the Royal Academy.

The purpose of the exhibition, which was set up in 1768, is to raise funds to support the Royal Academy Schools, Britain’s first art school.

Individual tickets cost £525 and earns you entry to the party, a programme, bubbly and nibbles and 2025 Exhibition List of Works & Price Guide.

A VIP ticket, costing £850, comes with a special listing in the preview programme, early access to view artworks and the first opportunity to buy works.

These guests are also granted access to exclusive VIP Reception in the Royal Academy’s Fine Rooms.

The event comes after Alex candidly opened up about her husband Charlie’s harrowing health ordeal.

Last year, she divulged that Charlie had experienced a ‘rough period’ throughout 2023.

The pair married in 2015, and they have three children together, Teddy, Kit and Annie.

Speaking on Gabby Logan’s podcast ‘The MidPoint‘ last year, the star admitted to seeing her husband ‘fall apart’ after battling Lyme Disease and viral meningitis.

During her conversation Alex reported that Charlie is ‘in a much better place now’.

Explaining her motivation, she said: ‘I think what drives me is the fact that we have got three young children, and I feel, for them, I need to do the best to preserve myself.

 She continued: ‘Mum and dad have always been healthy, growing up we’ve always eaten a balanced diet, but more so, Charlie and I are focused on that.

‘He also wasn’t very well last year,’ she mentioned, prompting Gabby to inquire: ‘How is he now?’

Alex replied: ‘He’s good, yes. He’s in a way better place now to where we were a year ago but diet has played a huge part in that. We always eat relatively well but he’s quite into nutrition.’

She explained: ‘I think it was a way for him as well to fill his days in a sense when he wasn’t feeling well. And he decided to take on this kind of role, right, well, we’ve got the medication, but I’m going to see what else I can do to help myself.

‘He used to be a chef so cooking and food is very much something he loves and it brings him a lot of joy.

‘I’m very lucky he cooks most meals, but I do say it’s the glory job because nobody says, ‘you stacked that dishwasher so well,’ so he does all the cooking but we eat really well.

‘Lots of pulses, lots of greens, lots of vegetables, and this thing that was news to me that five to 10 a day isn’t enough, it’s the variety, eat the rainbow, I say it on a loop to my children.’

While Alex did not specify her husband’s mental health struggles, she did touch upon them on the How To Fail Podcast, revealing that her husband had ‘gone downhill fast mentally’. 

‘It’s my husband’s own story to tell, so I won’t go into detail, but he suffers with his mental health and we’ve just been through a really bad period where, bless him, he had Lyme Disease and then he had viral meningitis. 

‘Lots of things happened recently.’
