Alex Jones has announced that she and her co-presenters will be taking a break from The One Show. The Ammanford presenter of the popular primetime BBC One show told audiences on tonight's (July 27) episode: "That is your lot this week and for a few weeks because we are taking a summer break. We'll be back on August 22. Until then, stay safe and have a lovely summer."
In tonight's episode, Alex and her co-presenter, former professional footballer Jermaine Jenas, chatted to Oscar-winning actor Daniel Kaluuya, Tom Daley exclusively revealed how he was making history at the Commonwealth Games, and Watchdog investigated the new energy price cap.
Forty-five-year-old Alex has presented the show for the last two nights as normal, despite an online post describing a 'tricky and challenging patch in her life'. You can read more about that by clicking here.

In the message, the Welsh presenter told her 337k followers: "Things have been a bit tricky for us recently and in all honesty, I haven’t had time to be on here between working and the children but I randomly logged on and saw all your lovely messages gently asking if we were all ok.
"I was touched by your kindness and so I just wanted to check in and say thank you, and that even though life has been a bit challenging, we are ok and still managing to enjoy the beginning of the holidays and there's still plenty to smile about! (I'll pop some stuff on my stories) #whenlifegivesyoulemons #thekindnessofstrangers."
