Alex Jones fights back tears on BBC The One Show over emotional letter

Alex Jones was left fighting back tears on the latest edition of The One Show. The presenter was back fronting the BBC One show on Wednesday night (November 9) and after hosting solo the previous evening, she was joined by Jermaine Jenas.

The pair were joined live on the famous green sofa by comedian Tom Allen, who was on to chat about his new book, and former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse who was discussing her new documentary which is set to air on the BBC and explores her life in South Africa before becoming a dance and TV star in the UK.

But when speaking to Tom about his memoir, titled Too Much, Alex appeared emotional as she asked if she could read part of a letter he had written to his dad, who died last year.
