Alex Jones sparks health concerns as she returns to The One Show – and panicked fans gasp ‘couldn’t they find someone to replace her?!’

Alex Jones sparked health concerns among viewers during her return to The One Show on Thursday. 

The TV presenter took some time away from her usual role on the BBC evening programme after suffering with flu. 

Alex, 47, opened the show with, ‘Hello there and welcome to your Thursday One Show live on BBC One and iPlayer with Roman Kemp.’

Co-host Roman commented on her ‘croaky’ voice adding, ‘And a very croaky Alex Jones’.

The star apologised to viewers and said: ‘Sorry if I cough through this.’

Roman asked Alex, ‘Are you feeling a little bit better?’ to which she responded with, ‘I am feeling loads better.’

He added, ‘Well it’s lovely to have you back’ before starting the show. 

However, viewers took to social media to express their concern for the presenter. 

One posted on X: ‘#TheOneShow oh dear Alex doesn’t sound well…’

Another penned: ‘Oh Alex’s throat sounds sore #TheOneShow.’

While someone else wrote: ‘Couldn’t they have found someone to replace Alex? #TheOneShow.’

It comes after Alex was forced to miss an episode of The One Show in January after her son Kit was rushed to hospital.

Alex took to Instagram and shared a pH๏τo of her son in a hospital bed with his face hidden while he was being cared for by a nurse.

Alongside it, she wrote: ‘Never gets any easier but made so much better thanks to the amazingly kind and gentle staff.’

The star never disclosed what her son needed medical attention for, but did confirm with fans later that he was alright.

Sharing a pH๏τo of herself, 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.’

She was replaced by Gabby Logan, who co-hosted with Lauren Laverne. 

The TV presenter is mother to Kit and older son Teddy, who was born in 2017 and a daughter born in 2021 with her husband Charlie Thomson.

Late last year, Alex took a brief absence from The One Show to move house. 

The broadcaster revealed she has relocated out of London after living in the same house for 11 years. 

After her initial announcement in July, Alex shared that her and Charlie had decided they wanted a different environment for their children to grow up in.

Keeping her fans up to date on her move, she admitted in an Instagram video in July that it was an ’emotional’ time for her as she prepared to leave her former home.

‘This was emotional. After 11 years, we are MOVING HOUSE. Would love any packing tips you have?’ she captioned the clip, seeking her fans’ advice.

Speaking the camera, she shared: ‘So here’s a bit of news: we’re moving home! Aggggh! I’m finding it a little bit emotional.’

The One Show airs on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
