And when asked about the dress, Alesha replied: "Spanx are a girlโ€™s best friend Terri, letโ€™s be honest. It takes a lot of effort, it takes a lot of work, just to get Spanx on!"

Alesha added: "When I had my first I didn't leave the house for 2 months. But with Anaya I'm out the house and in America. I donโ€™t know if itโ€™s just the fact that sheโ€™s my second and Iโ€™m more relaxed but Iโ€™m happy so nothing feels stressful."

"Sleep is everything. Honestly, when you have more than five hours sleep with a new born baby, you can take on the world."

Alesha announced the birth of Azura on Instagram last month, sharing an adorable photo of her captioned: "Anaya Safiya ๐Ÿ’œ born 20.08.19 ๐Ÿ’œ
