Welsh presenter Alex Jones is a familiar face on television screens. The host, who hails from Ammanford, has been fronting The One Show since 2010 and has opened up on her childhood memories of the BBC in a new interview to mark the broadcaster's 100 years.
The 45-year-old revealed she always wanted to for the BBC before joining the green sofa and wrote many letters over the years. "I forever wanted to work at the BBC," she told Radio Times magazine.
"Between the ages of 18 to probably 30, I wrote so many letters to various people who ultimately turned me down — people who still work there, some of them, which is funny."
