Alex Jones shared a kiss with her husband Charlie Thomson as she celebrated 15 years on The One Show over the weekend.
The presenter, 48, was honoured with a special anniversary episode on Friday and gave a behind-the-scenes insight on social media.
Sharing a series of photos to Instagram on Sunday, Alex and Charlie posed outside the studio after he surprised her on set.
Other photos included one of her sat on the famous sofa with Roman Kemp and her smiling alongside her colleagues.
Alex wrote: 'Yesterday was a complete whirlwind! Even better than a birthday! Surreal and amazing.
'It's a huge honour to have been on The One Show for 15 years and it's flown by!'
She continued: 'The whole team make it such a special place to work. They are the best of the best!!!!! I feel very grateful to everyone I've worked alongside over the years.
'It's also such a privilege to have been on your screens for that long and I want to say a huge THANK YOU for all your kind message. I'm overwhelmed in the best way possible! Reading them makes me cry!!!! .
'I feel very lucky to have my job and don't for one second take it for granted.
'Here's just a little selection of pics from last night. The first photo, kindly take by Moira Hoffman is one of my favourites ever.'
Alex Jones was left visibly emotional when her husband Charlie made a surprise appearance on The One Show on Friday.
Towards the end of the show, co-hosts Roman, 32, and Richard Osman, 54, shocked Alex by welcoming her husband of 10 years onto the famous green sofa.
Clearly stunned, Alex looked lost for words as Charlie walked in holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The couple embraced warmly, sharing a kiss before sitting down together.
Roman asked Alex: 'Is it weird seeing him on the sofa?'
Still emotional, she replied: 'It's very weird, it's weird being this side. It's weird being next to you. You're normally in the garden, building the treehouse now.'
When asked how he felt about his wife's milestone, Charlie shared: 'I'm extremely proud, not just from what she's achieved here but also with the family at home.
'Balancing those two has been amazing and keeping it tide over at different times. Covid period, always there.'
Fighting back tears, Alex added: 'I couldn't do it without this man at home who keeps everything running while I'm here and sorts out the children and bedtime while I'm here.'
She went on: 'And mum and dad and the family and friends at home who keep my feet on the ground - Everybody here as well and our viewers who've put up with me for 15 years - thank you.'
Earlier this week, Alex reflected on her journey with the show, telling the BBC: 'I feel incredibly proud to have been on the iconic sofa for all these years.
'It certainly doesn't feel like 15 years, and it still feels fresh, as the show keeps evolving. I feel like we keep coming back better and better.
'I started as a young girl, and I feel like I've grown up with our viewers. They have seen me through all my big life moments, like getting engaged and married, to having children. Our viewers are like extended family by now!'
Alex and Charlie married in 2015 and share three children - Edward, Kit, and Annie.

Some call the Sussexes' Netflix deal a demotion - but the company still sees them as a power couple

While we're all desperate to know what this new deal is really worth in dollars and pounds, one thing I can tell you for certain is that Prince Harry and Meghan want us to know they're delighted that Netflix again wanted to get a deal done. "Absolutely over the moon" is how it was described to me. But they'll also be aware of the attention it'll attract as we all try to pick apart what it means. Image: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Pic: Jake Rosenberg/Netflix Firstly because of that ongoing fascination in how they're making money since stepping away from royal life and losing financial support from the King, but also because of the recent reports that Netflix were intending to cut ties. Yes this is a different type of deal from their original one in 2020. Some have argued that a "first look deal" looks like a demotion from what they previously signed up to. With no real clarity on how much their original deal was worth, and no numbers being publicly thrown around this time, that is hard to judge. But talking to those who know something about these kinds of deals you do get a sense it could potentially be more lucrative than it looks on face value. With first look deals, yes there is often financial commitments from the likes of Netflix to get that first exclusive look at projects and first refusal.

For example, when the Obamas signed a first look deal with Netflix, the streaming service agreed to pay the operational costs for their production company "Higher Ground". Could it be that Netflix are also now covering the costs of Archewell Productions? Follow the World Listen to The World with Richard Engel and Yalda Hakim every Wednesday Tap to follow It's stating the obvious to say that Harry and Meghan continue to divide opinions, some wanting to watch their programmes from a place of respect and fondness, others as a reason to grumble about them. But signing on this latest dotted line shows Netflix still sees them as a power couple, who attract significant attention and are worthy of investment, whatever that really adds up to.
