Alex Jones was left delighted when her husband, Charlie Thomson, whisked her away to Paris as a surprise birthday treat.
The wonderful Welsh host of The One Show marked her 45th birthday last week – with her rarely seen husband, who hails from New Zealand, showering her with affection and tickets to the City of Love.
Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Alex shared photos and videos of herself and Charlie enjoying all the sights – and romance – of the French capital.
She shared a collage of photographs on her main feed including a snap of herself and Charlie pouting in a restaurant, enjoying a smooch beneath the Eiffel Tower, and a snap of them cuddled up together beside the river Seine.
Sharing the collection, she wrote: “24 hours in Paris. 24 hours of laughing, exploring, wine drinking, hand holding and remembering why we’re a team.
“Thank you Mr T for the best surprise.”
While she also shared a video of her trip on her main feed too.
Scenes showed Alex and Charlie navigating their way through Heathrow airport to catch their flight – with footage showing them enjoying a pre-departure glass of champagne.
Following sights of the French coastline from the seat of their plane, Alex then showed off the view she enjoyed from her hotel window – with classic Parisienne architecture on display.
Footage then showed cakes galore at a classic French Patisserie, street art on the side of buildings, and more content of the Seine and the TV star and her insurance broker husband cuddling by the river.
The couple appeared to also enjoy a trip to the iconic art and history gallery Le Louvre, before taking a trip to the iconic Eiffel Tower.
Alex and Charlie have been married since 2015 and together they have three children.
Their eldest, a son named Edward who is affectionately called Teddy, was born in January 2017, and their second son, named Kit, arrived in May 2019.
The couple welcomed their third child, this time a daughter named Annie, in August last year – and it looks like all three were left at home during the couple’s trip.
Alex was back on British soil by Wednesday, however, and was proudly sharing snaps of herself with her daughter via Instagram.
She shared snaps of herself holding her baby girl while out for a walk and nearby a pond – with Alex admitting she was enjoying time relaxing with her daughter in less than perfect style.
She wrote while posing in a pink jumper and black trousers: “A little break from filming so heels off and we’re out enjoying the sun! Sorry bout the offensive slippers! How to ruin an outfit.”
