Alex Jones had to skip her appearance on The One Show on Tuesday night after her son Kit was unexpectedly taken to hospital. The 47 year old TV host caused worry among her followers when she announced that her five year old had been hospitalised, without providing any further information about his condition.
Alex posted a picture on Instagram of her son in a hospital bed, his face concealed, being looked after by a nurse. Alongside the photo, she penned: "Never gets any easier but made so much better thanks to the amazingly kind and gentle staff."
The presenter didn't reveal why her son needed medical care but did reassure fans later that he was doing fine. Sharing a selfie, she wrote: “Such a relief that it's done! Needless to say, I won't be on @bbctheoneshow later but @laurenlaverne and @gabbylogan will look after you x.”
This comes after Alex recently revealed a massive first for the BBC series set for 2025 this week. Just minutes into Monday evening's episode, Alex and her co-host Lauren Laverne took a brief pause from the show to make an announcement. "Of course, we do love hearing from you," she expressed. "Now then, news. We have something new for 2025."
Lauren excitedly rubbed her hands together as a phone number and QR code appeared on the screen. "You can now send us a message using our new WhatsApp number," Alex confirmed. The number is 0330 123 1 700, reports Wales Online. "Or you scan, see that QR code there? Scan that," she continued. "Remember to include your name with your message, or you can still contact us in all the usual ways."
Another pop-up confirmed viewers can still search for BBCTheOneShow on social media or email them at theoneshow@bbc.co.uk. Lauren added: "Love that. No excuse not to talk to us, come on!" This Monday's episode started both the week and the new year with an exciting line-up of special guests.
Following her energetic performance on The Masked Singer, Dame Prue Leith dropped by to chat about her experience along with the show's host Joel Dommett. Alex and Lauren also had a chat with actor Mark Williams, who's perhaps most recognised for his role as Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter films.He has since taken on the role of Father Brown, which will be returning for its 12th season on Friday.
