Alex Jones says kids presenting skills come in handy with parenting: Im the fun one

TV presenter Alex Jones has said that her career has “come in handy” while raising her own three kids.

The welsh television presenter spoke to Metro as part of their “sixty seconds with” series, which has previously profiled the likes of Strictly Come Dancing’s Kaye Adams, Peter Andre and Gok Wan.

Revealing she was taking the interview in her car because her house is “like a zoo”, Alex, 45, was asked whether she is good with kids because of her experience, as she branded herself a "fun parent".

She replied: “I don’t know if that translates. I can be a fun parent, I can make a den like no other, but it is hard work and it’s rewarding and frustrating and amazing and fun and really tests you.”

Alex has presented countless recognisable shows through the years, having previously worked on shows like The One Show, Shop Well For Less and Tumble.

Alex continued to tell Metro that she’s quite good at voices, which her kids love, but isn’t sure whether her skills as a parent are directly linked to her job.

“Some of the skills come in handy,” she added.

While Alex’s uncertainty over the connection between parenting and presenting is clear, she did acknowledge that working in kids’ TV toughened her up.

“You will put on any costume, do anything,” she said before adding: “Which is why a lot of our most popular TV presenters started on kids’ TV.”

Alex has three kids of her own with her husband, Charlie Thomson, an insurance broker who was born in New Zealand.

The two met in 2011 before marrying in 2015 in a small private ceremony at Cardiff Castle on New Year's Eve.

The couple welcomed their first baby in 2017, naming him Edward Alun Burrell Thomson, or Teddy for short.

Alex and Charlie’s second son Alex was born in 2019, and their daughter Annie in 2021.
