Alex Jones is a Welsh television presenter. She has co-presented BBC One magazine programme The One Show, with Matt Baker.
She is fluent in both English and Welsh. Alex is married to New Zealand insurance broker Charlie Thomson, with whom she has three children.
Alex has said:
I have always been pretty sure of my Welshness – it is something that really defines me… I’ve always felt a strong sense of Welsh identity, but it’s nice to have that confirmed. Generations and generations of my family, going right back, are all Welsh.
Alex’s ancestry can be traced to her ten-times great-grandfather, Edward Mainwaring, who was born, c. 1642, in St. Davids, Pembrockshire, Wales.
Alex’s paternal grandfather was named Denzil Jones (the grandson of Henry Hughes).
