Alex jones admits being ‘anxious’ leaving newborn on one show return

The One Show returned to BBC One on Tuesday night with hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas back on the iconic green sofa. Alex has been away from the show since August 6 as she had been on

maternity leave after giving birth to her and husband Charlie Thomson's daughter, Annie. She returned to the show on Tuesday evening and revealed how "anxious" she was to have

left Annie at home with her husband for the first time. As the pre-credits ended, Alex welcomed viewers back to the show and said: “Hello, Happy New Year, and welcome to The One Show live

on BBC One and iPlayer and with Jermaine Jenas!” “And Alex Jones,” Jermaine continued: “Now Alex, New Year’s resolutions, that’s the talk of the day obviously, what are yours?” Alex

revealed: “Well, mine, Jermaine is to be a bit more relaxed, so today (is my) first official day back from maternity. “My husband Charlie on paternity (leave), and I need to learn to let go

a bit of things at home, you know, let him do it his way, tricky!” READ MORE: A PLACE IN THE SUN BUYER BREAKS DOWN OVER DECISION FOR MOVE Picking up on Alex’s frosty vibe, Jermaine stated:

“You don’t seem so happy with Charlie?” Laughing, Alex commented: “No, no, no, it’s all good, I feel a bit anxious, but it’s fine!” While she may have been anxious about things running

smoothly at home, Alex's first One Show of the year went without a hitch. And delighted to see Alex back on the show after her time off, @StarBaker16 wrote on Twitter: “Welcome back

@MissAlexJones – it’s good to see you!” @cupie_doll added: “I’m glad #theoneshow is back, and so is Alex Jones!” Speaking about drama, Maxine revealed: “So we follow my character, Sam, as

she enters her workplace to find, well, it looks like there’s been an accident of some kind. “There’s a spillage of blood, so yes, I don’t know how much I’m supposed to give away!” to which

Jermaine joked: “Rakhee is looking at you Maxine like ‘How far is she going to with this?’" Also joining Jermaine and Alex on the BBC presenter's first show of the year was Deborah

Meaden and Steven Bartlett. Steven has made history as he is the youngest ever Dragon to appear on Dragons' Den. Alongside Deborah, the pair delved into what fans of the hit BBC show

can expect in the new series. Speaking on how he first felt when entering the Den, Steven revealed: “It was emotional, I didn’t expect it to be that competitive. “When an entrepreneur walks

through the door and you want the business these this weird thing where we all kind of fall quiet.” Deborah praised Steven’s confident arrival and said: “He absolutely owned that chair from

the minute he started and he didn’t back off! It’s quiet challenging in there and he absolutely held his own.” THE ONE SHOW AIRS WEEKDAYS ON BBC ONE FROM 7PM.
