"I've been reading my book aloud to them and they've been amazing," he tells HELLO!. "I can spot instantly when they're gripped or when I've got too carried away. It's lovely having them as a sounding board.

"Having four boys, I wanted to write a real page-turner for children their age." Alexander's debut thriller The Golden Linnet comes out in September and, not one to rest on his laurels, he has already started writing his second work of fiction.

He credits his former Pointless co-host Richard Osman - himself a seasoned thriller writer with being another great support.
