The BBC star has been keeping her Instagram followers up-to-date on her journey and has been regularly sharing clips of her packing up her house.

Alex had her brunette hair tied back and was wearing a striped vest-top and red sunglasses while Charlie opted for a dark polo shirt and black shades.
The couple sweetly kissed as they celebrated finding their dream home.
The emotional decision came as the couple, who have been married for nine years, decided that they wanted a different environment for their children - sons Teddy, seven, Kit, five, and daughter Annie, three.
The snap gave fans a peek at the new property which seemed to be situated in a sunny garden as the couple posed outside on a patio with an olive tree in the background.
In the caption, Alex wrote: 'We made it and are completely delighted with the new house. Thank you so much for all your messages of support over the last few weeks. We are obviously living in complete chaos but it already feels like home.
'It was a big decision to leave West London where we have been very happy for 14 years but we wanted the children to have space to play outside and to grow up in nature. It took nearly 4 years of searching to find the 'one'.
'Somewhere where the children could appreciate nature but yet close enough to London for me to get to work and we have. It feels like she was waiting for us to find her. We feel very lucky ❤️'
In a series of Instagram posts the presenter has been showing off countless piles of boxes and has taken fans on a trip down memory lane with her as she rummages through sentimental bits including a baby book and a children's memory box.

Last month, Alex was snapped enjoying a rare date night in Mayfair with her husband Charlie.
They had enjoyed dinner at Bacchanalia and were joined by Declan Donnelly and his wife Ali Astall.
Both couples were there to celebrate Katherine Jenkins' upcoming 43rd birthday for a swanky dinner.
Alex's husband Charlie looked to be in great spirits, after serious health issues.
In 2023, Alex revealed that husband Charlie had become a 'shadow of himself' as he battled with his mental health, and she said she watched him 'fall apart' after becoming seriously ill with Lyme Disease and viral meningitis.
Alex told Gabby Logan on her podcast The Midpoint: '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.
'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.'
Asked how he was doing 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 revealed she struggles to understand Charlie's mental health battle and has been honest with him in lengthy conversations.
She said: 'He tries to explain it, and I said: 'Do you think I'm a terrible person because I don't quite get it?' And he says: 'No, but because you're trying to get it, I love you for that'. But he said it is hard to fully understand it.'
'I listen to lots of podcasts where depression is discussed at length. And some of the time I feel if you're really depressed - and I 've seen it in the last few months - you're not alright enough to be on a podcast. And I'm confused as to where we are.
'You feel the pressure because suddenly you're the breadwinner, you're the parent who is functioning.
'Just life admin is now your responsibility, plus the person you love most is falling apart in front of you and you're trying to piece them together without proper understanding of how best to go about that.'
'I wouldn't go into detail because Charlie's super private, but I think it's worth sharing because it knocks you for six as a family - not just the person going through it, but the person that then has to deal with the fall out of the whole thing. It's full on.'
