AS SHE

gets set for her latest presenting gig – as host of upcoming show The Secrets In My Family – Alex Jones, 40, was relieved to find her own history was far more run-of-the-mill than she thought.

“We did a look at my family a few years ago but there is no deviation,” says The One Show presenter. “There were some Chinese whispers that there was a link to a mayor of Paris which I loved because I thought, ‘Well that’s exciting!’” However she would like to delve into the past of her New Zealand-born stockbroker husband of two years Charlie Thomson, adding: “They are a shady lot. There is some interesting stuff there.”
