'Devastated' Alex Jones' emotional tribute to One Show researcher who died suddenly

The One Show has paid tribute to a member of the family who sadly died on the weekend.

Host Alex Jones revealed that she and the team were left "devastated" over the loss.

Charlie Mott worked as a Senior Researcher on the BBC show and as an Assistant Producer with the channel.

The cause of Charlie's death has yet to be made public knowledge.

Alex announced his death on the show, giving her love and thoughts to his family and loved ones.

In a heartwarming tribute, the presenter described Charlie as a "huge talent" and "such good company".

She said at the end of Monday night's show: "Now before we go, we just want to pay tribute to one of our colleagues Charlie Mott who sadly died at the weekend.

"Everyone on the team is absolutely devastated, he was a huge talent and such good company.

"We miss him so much. Our thoughts are with his family and we are sending lots of love from all of us here. Goodnight."

The show then ended without the usual credit music, instead in silence.

BBC also paid tribute to the late researcher on social media where messages were flooding in.

The broadcaster shared a statement revealing Alex had shared some words about Charlie following his sudden death.

BBC's tweet read: "'We'll miss him so much.' @MissAlexjones pays tribute to one of our colleagues, Charlie Mott, who sadly died at the weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family."

Alex made a comeback to The One Show in July.

Viewers took to Twitter following the news to pay tribute as those who knew him did the same.

A colleague said: "There are no words. We love you so much Charlie."

Another added: "Will miss you buddy x."

A third wrote after sharing the video: "One of the good ones with a hugely infectious smile and the best flat mate I ever had. What awful, awful news. Rest easy Charlie x."

The comments kept flooding in too, with another pal writing: "It was a pleasure to have known you Charlie. I’ll miss you very, very much. Take care up there. Devastated. x."

The One Show airs weeknights at 7pm on BBC One.
