Alex Jones
Biography
Carmarthenshire-born presenter who burst onto the national stage in 2010 as the new co-host of The One Show. But S4C viewers already knew her for a string of shows over a ten-year period, ranging from children's quizzes to travelogues and co-presenting Jonathan Davies' rugby-based show Jonathan. She also had a brief stint on Channel 4's breakfast show RI:SE (or, as all reviewers are obliged to call it, The Ill-Fated RI:SE).
Trivia
She was a contestant on Prickly Heat, filmed in Magaluf. The show clashed with her university finals, but Aberystwyth Uni arranged for the papers to be flown out so she could sit her exams and do the show. She even claims that Davina McCall acted as invigilator!
Only a few months before signing up for The One Show, she told Wales Online that she had no ambitions to work on Network TV in London: "To me, that would be a move across, not a move up."
