Meanwhile, sister Jessica took part in Newcastle’s Great North Run at the weekend.
She managed to raise more than £1,000 after supporters sponsored her to take part in the world’s second biggest half marathon.
Alex said: “The reason behind us doing these events was a personal one, as both my grandmothers have suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease.”
