Welsh presenter Alex Jones, who is a regular host on BBC's The One Show, has announced she is taking a break from the programme. The host announced she was having a week off and confirmed who her replacement would be during the episode that aired on Friday, March 31.
Bidding farewell to BBC One and BBC iPlayer viewers at the end of the show, Alex said: "Jermaine (Jenas) and Emma (Willis) will be here on Monday, I'll see you the week after". Her co-host Ronan then wished Alex a "good week off" as they waved goodbye to the cameras.
Alex's break coincides with many schools' Easter holidays, with other television hosts including This Morning's Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield taking some time off. Earlier today Holly shared a rare snap of her kids in the ITV studio as she told her 8.2 million followers: "Favourite interview of the week… the kids popped into @thismorning as they have broken up from school, Soooo lovely having them there.
