Alex Jones confirms it's her last week on The One Show for a while

Alex Jones has confirmed it's her "last week" on The One Show for a while as she prepares to go on maternity leave.

The Welsh television presenter is just weeks away from welcoming her third child with husband Charlie Thomson.

Sharing an update with her 300,000 Instagram followers, the 44-year-old explained it was her last week in the make-up chair for a while as she prepared for BBC's The One Show on Monday, August 2.

Once ready Alex posted a stunning picture of herself in a floral dress and confirmed: "Last week on the show before we break for the summer and I go off for some mat leave."

And following the episode Alex shared another picture of her baby bump and said she had enjoyed the show "so much" as she prepared to wind down before "the baba arrives".

She added: "Nice to catch up with Gethin Jones too. Dress from Nobody's Child. Won't be able to fit through the studio door soon."

Alex announced she was having a little girl on The One Show back in March.

The presenter from Ammanford in Carmarthenshire has co-hosted the BBC series, which airs every week day at 7pm for more than a decade.

Following her on-air pregnancy announcement Alex shared a sweet family snap on social media in which she held up a board that read: "Coming soon... baby number three."

Alex added in the caption: "The best surprise ever."

The presenter and her husband Charlie are already parents to four-year-old Teddy and two-year-old Kit.

It's unknown who will replace Jones when she is away on maternity leave, as the show has had a number of relief and guest presenters in recent times.
