Broadcaster Alex Jones has addressed her husband’s devastating health struggle. Last year, the presenter opened up and admitted Charlie Thomson had been through a “rough period” in 2023.
The One Show star married insurance broker Charlie in 2015, and they’ve since gone on to welcome three children together. But last year, Alex revealed that Charlie had become a “shadow of himself” as he went through a battle with his mental health. Speaking on a podcast, Alex said she saw Charlie “fall apart” after battling Lyme Disease and viral meningitis.
Speaking on Gabby Logan’s podcast The MidPoint, Alex thankfully shared that Charlie is “in a much better place now”. Alex told the podcast host: “I think what drives me is the fact that we have got three young children, and I feel, for them, I need to do the best to preserve myself.”

She continued: “Mum and dad have always been healthy, growing up we’ve always eaten a balanced diet, but more so, Charlie and I are focused on that.
“He also wasn’t very well last year,” she added, to which Gabby asked: “How is he now?” Alex then responded: “He’s good, yes. He’s in a way better place now to where we were a year ago but diet has played a huge part in that. We always eat relatively well but he’s quite into nutrition.”
She continued: “I think it was a way for him as well to fill his days in a sense when he wasn’t feeling well. And he decided to take on this kind of role, right, well, we’ve got the medication, but I’m going to see what else I can do to help myself. He used to be a chef so cooking and food is very much something he loves and it brings him a lot of joy.

“I’m very lucky he cooks most meals, but I do say it’s the glory job because nobody says, ‘you stacked that dishwasher so well,’ so he does all the cooking but we eat really well.
“Lots of pulses, lots of greens, lots of vegetables, and this thing that was news to me that five to 10 a day isn’t enough, it’s the variety, eat the rainbow, I say it on a loop to my children,” she explained.
“Charlie makes all their meals, which is brilliant so they eat really well,” she said of the children’s diet. Alex then quipped: “Don’t get me wrong Annie was having sugar at six months, Ted didn’t even see sugar until he was three.”
Although the star never detailed her husband’s mental health condition, she did speak on the How To Fail Podcast, where she said he went “downhill fast mentally”. “It’s my husband’s own story to tell, so I won’t go into detail, but he suffers with his mental health and we’ve just been through a really bad period where, bless him, he had Lyme Disease and then he had viral meningitis. Lots of things happened recently.”
