Alex Jones and The One Show: A Broadcasting Success Story
The Enduring Appeal of Alex Jones on The One Show
Charlotte Alexandra Jones is a Welsh television presenter, best known for co-presenting the BBC One magazine programme The One Show. Since joining the programme in 2010, Jones has become one of Britain’s most recognisable and beloved television personalities, connecting with millions of viewers every weeknight.
In August 2025, Jones celebrated 15 years as the host of The One Show. This remarkable milestone reflects her enduring popularity and the chemistry she has built with various co-presenters over the years. The programme is currently co-hosted by Alex Jones, Roman Kemp, Ronan Keating and Lauren Laverne.
From Welsh Broadcaster to National Treasure
Jones’s journey to becoming a household name began in Welsh-language television. On 26 July 2010, S4C presenter Alex Jones was announced as the new female co-host of The One Show, replacing Christine Bleakley. The appointment marked a turning point in her career, propelling her from regional broadcasting to primetime national television.
Broadcast live on BBC One weekdays at 7:00 pm, the programme features topical stories and studio guests. Jones’s warmth, professionalism and ability to connect with guests and viewers alike have made her an integral part of the show’s success.
A Show Approaching Its 20th Anniversary
BBC One’s popular talk show, The One Show, will celebrate its 20th anniversary this summer, with the programme beginning to gear up for its special celebrations on August 14, to mark 20 years since its first broadcast. Viewers can expect to see the show revisit some its most memorable moments as it starts to reflect on the past two decades ahead of its official anniversary date.
Recent Developments and Future Prospects
Beyond her One Show duties, Jones continues to expand her television presence. In the first episode of The Masked Singer (season 7) on Saturday, Jones was revealed as Disc Jockey, the BBC broadcaster having never sung in public before. This appearance demonstrates her willingness to step outside her comfort zone and take on new challenges.
Looking ahead, Jones’s commitment to The One Show remains strong. With her 15-year tenure and the programme’s upcoming 20th anniversary celebrations, Alex Jones has solidified her position as one of British television’s most enduring and cherished presenters, bringing warmth and professionalism to millions of homes every evening.
