In her new W Channel documentary, Alex Jones: Making Babies, Welsh TV presenter Alex Jones explores IVF and fertility and actually trains to become a fertility assistant and during the process she comes across one doctor who 'terrifies' her into being the model student. . The ten-part documentary sees Alex working for six months on the front line of one of the most prestigious fertility clinics in the UK, King’s Fertility London.

She has been given the chance to train as a fertility assistant, learning how to chaperone patients, take blood and assist in embryo transfers and egg collections, experiencing the highs and lows of the emotional journey patients take.

In the first episode of the documentary, which will air at 8pm on W Channel on Thursday, December 5, Alex meets the boss of King's Fertility Dr Ippokratis Sarris. When first meeting Alex she is given a stern warning by Dr Sarris to be "a help not a hindrance" and describes him as "terrifying".
