The One Show presenter Alex Jones, 43, revealed she was “crying” on air when BBC Breakfast’s Steph McGovern joined her on BBC Radio Wales last weekend. The mum-of-two admitted she was “emotional” after the Channel 4 presenter opened up about how far the two of them have come in their careers so far.
It comes after Alex asked Steph all about her new Channel 4 daytime show Steph’s Packed Lunch.
“I have to ask because sometimes you get that sort of ‘pinch me’ moment, and can you believe and did you ever think that you would have a show that was being created around you?
“It makes me really emotional for you,” she continued as she started to choke up on her words before Steph interrupted with: “Oh!”
Alex went on: “Your own studio. It’s really exciting.”

“You’ve written a book about parenting haven’t you Alex?”
