Charlotte Alexandra "Alex" Jones (born 18 March 1977) is a Welsh television presenter, best known for co-presenting the BBC One magazine programme The One Show with Matt Baker.
Jones was born in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, and has a younger sister Jennie. Her first language at home was English, but Jones was educated at the Welsh language school Maes yr Yrfa, and is fluent in both English and Welsh. After training as a ballet dancer as a child, Jones studied theatre, film and television at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, sitting her final exams in Magaluf, Spain, while appearing as a contestant on the first series of Sky1 show Prickly Heat.
After graduation, Jones became a television researcher, but after being sacked twice, was asked by a producer at Avanti productions to audition in front of the camera. Her first presenting job was for BBC Choice, and she then joined S4C as a presenter on the singing programme Cân i Gymru (A Song for Wales). Jones developed a speciality presenting Welsh-language children's programmes on S4C, including Hip neu Sgip? and Salon, alongside occasional appearances on mainstream British television, including Channel 4's RI:SE.
Jones presents travel show Tocyn (Ticket) on S4C with Aled Samuel, the extreme sports show Chwa, and was part of the crew on Jonathan Davies's Welsh-language rugby show Jonathan for the 2010 Six Nations Championship. Jones is a regular co-host on Real Radio GMG in Wales.
