The One Show's Alex Jones shared an update on her husband's health who she said she "didn't recognise" at one point.
The BBC presenter sat down with Gabby Logan on her podcast, Midpoint to talk about her husband Charlie Thomson. She discussed balancing work with being a mother to three children under six years old, her love of nature and her family's lifestyle during the hour-long chat, reports WalesOnline.
During part one of the conversation, Gabby asked Alex about her lifestyle, she said: "We are here now in this mid-life period with more written about than ever before about longevity and how to live your healthiest life, if you eat well, if you don't drink too much alcohol, if you exercise, how are you doing on all those pillars?"

Alex said what drives her to keep a healthy lifestyle is her three young children. She said husband Charlie was also not well last year.
She said: "He's in a way better place now to where we were a year ago but diet has played a huge part in that. We always eat relatively well but he's quite into nutrition."
It comes after Alex appeared on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast back in January and shared that they'd been through a "really bad period" where Charlie had both Lyme Disease and viral meningitis, which impacted his mental health.
She said at the time: "I thought I was losing him, not actually losing him, but I thought oh my God where is he? I can't see him, I was looking at him and thinking I'm looking and hearing somebody who is not my husband."
Elsewhere in the episode, Alex discussed both her and Charlie's love of nature, sharing that their favourite things to do as a family with their kids, Teddy, six, Kit, four, and one-year-old Annie, is simple stuff like feeding the ducks, going on bike rides and visiting lavender fields.
Alex also revealed that her husband, who hails from New Zealand, is a "planet warrior" and that is the reason they spend so much of their family holidays in Wales. She said: "Because his family is in New Zealand and we have to fly there, we have to offset our carbon footprint by staying in the UK."
