Alex Jones makes heartbreaking confession about husband (Image: Getty) BBC star Alex Jones gave an insight into how she coped when her husband Charlie Thomson struggled with his mental health . The One Show host, 47, admitted at the time she initially “didn't know what to do”. In a frank chat with Fearne Cotton on her podcast Happy Place , she admitted “it was grim” and felt helpless.

In a bid to protect her long-term partner, she did not disclose too much about what Charlie experienced. Alex sweetly attempted to protect his privacy by sharing what it was like for her as she stood by his side, helping him get through it. She said: "Everybody has periods where you just don't feel great.

” "I mean going back to my late 20s - woah. Looking back now, that was a mess. And I've talked before, my husband has suffered in the past,” she continued.
