She recently joked that her pet pug was as besotted with Alex as she is, telling Now magazine:  'Bettie's obsessed with him. She follows him into the shower - he can't escape. And when he's watching TV she sits on his head.'
Heidi was previously engaged to presenter Dave Berry, who she dated for eight years, but they called time on their romance in December 2011.
The star has turned her back on music since chart-topping girl band the Sugababes went their separate ways, confirming the news in the autumn of 2013 after a long hiatus.
