The One Show's Alex Jones fights back tears reading Tom Allen's letter to his late dad

The One Show's Alex Jones choked up after reading a letter that Tom Allen wrote to his late father during the episode that aired on Wednesday, November 9. The comedian stopped by to talk about his new book, Too Much, which features the letter as a tribute to his father, who died in late 2021.
