The One Show's Alex Jones has given an update on her husband's health months after opening up about his 'really bad period'.
The Welsh presenter, 46, is married to insurance broker Charlie Thompson, with the pair sharing three children together.
During an appearance on Gaby Logan's podcast Midpoint, Alex gave a rare insight into her family life and how she deals with being mum to three kids under the age of six and balancing her TV career.
The conversation took a serious turn as Gaby asked: "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?"
In response, Alex said: "Well I think what drives me is the fact that we have got three young children, and I feel, for them, I need to do the best to preserve myself. Mum and dad have always been healthy, growing up we've always eaten a balanced diet, but more so, Charlie and I are focused on that.
"He also wasn't very well last year," Alex continued before Gabby asked: "How is he now?"
"He's good, yes," Alex replied. "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."
Gabby then followed up by asking: "So what things did he want to change then about his diet that the family has adopted?"
Alex replied: "I think it was a way for him as well to fill his days in a sense when he wasn't feeling well.
"And he decided to take on this kind of role of, right well we've got the medication but I'm going to see what else I can do to help myself.
"He used to be a chef so cooking and food is very much something he loves and it brings him a lot of joy. I'm very lucky he cooks most meals, but I do say it's the glory job because nobody says 'you stacked that dishwasher so well,' so he does all the cooking but we eat really well.
"Lots of pulses, lots of greens, lots of vegetables, and this thing that was news to me that five to 10 a day isn't enough, it's the variety, eat the rainbow, I say it on a loop to my children", the presenter added.
She then joked: "Charlie makes all their meals, which is brilliant so they eat really well. Don't get me wrong Annie was having sugar at six months, Ted didn't even see sugar until he was three."
Alex's podcast appearance comes six months after she said her family had faced a 'really period period..'
The turbulent times came as Charlie battled both Lyme disease and viral meningitis which Alex said took a toll on his mental health.
At the time, Alex said: "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."
This week things took an awkward turn on The One Show when Alex had to interview her ex-partner Steve Jones.
The pair were in a three year relationship from 1999 to 2002 when they both worked on Channel 4 show Rise, but split after Steve stole an interview with a Hollywood A-lister from Alex.
Alex previously revealed she dumped Steve after finding out he lied in order to intercept her big moment with Angelina Jolie.
The presenter claimed that Steve had told her bosses that she was sick when she was actually just out shopping so that he could steal the chat with the megastar instead.
"Normally [Rise] would call in the morning and ask to come and do an interview or junket.
"I was staying in his [Steve’s] flat at the time when I was working in London and he picked up the landline and said ‘Al’s not here. She’s not feeling well, she’s had to go back to Cardiff’ – I was in Topshop."
"So he did the interview," Alex added.
