Welsh TV presenter and The One Show host Alex Jones has appeared on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast and spoke very candidly about her husband's, Charlie Thompson, mental health. In an open and honest conversation with podcast host, author and journalist Elizabeth Day, Alex said she "doesn't fully understand" mental health and wants to improve her understanding and how to help her family when it comes to improving their mental health.
Speaking on the podcast, which celebrates the things that haven't gone right and every week, a new interviewee explores what their failures taught them about how to succeed with Elizabeth, Alex gave her third failure as her failure "to really understand mental health" and her "quest to be much better at it." Alex admitted that she was nervous to talk so openly about the sensitive topic.
She said: "I really thought for so long, am I going to open a huge can of worms here? But, I think it is important, so here we go. We are surrounded now by, which is brilliant, people talking about mental health and podcasts about mental health but I still don't know whether I really understand it enough."
