Alex Jones says her husband became 'unrecognisable' during heartbreaking health battle
The One Show presenter has admitted her husband, Charlie Thomson, went through a 'rough period' in health update. TV presenter Alex Jones has opened up about her husband Charlie Thomson's devastating health battle. The couple got married in 2015 and have since had three children, but it has not been an easy ride for the pair. Alex had previously disclosed that Charlie had gone through a "rough period" in 2023. However, she has now opened up further about his health struggles, saying that he became unrecognisable during the distressing time. While battling Lyme Disease and viral meningitis, Charlie was said to deeply struggle with his mental health and Alex has heartbreakingly said that she watched the man she loves "fall apart", reports Yorkshire Live. The 48-year-old made an appearance on Gabby Logan's podcast The MidPoint, where she candidly spoke about Charlie's health struggles. On a positive note, she told Gabby that Charlie is "in a much better place now". She added: "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." Speaking about her family's approach to health, Alex explained: "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." The One Show presenter also touched on Charlie's condition last year, saying that he "wasn't very well", to which Gabby inquired: "How is he now?" Alex replied: "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. "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." She added: "Lots of pulses, lots of greens, lots of vegetables, and this thing that was news to me that five to ten a day isn't enough, it's the variety, eat the rainbow, I say it on a loop to my children. "Charlie makes all their meals, which is brilliant so they eat really well." Alex went on to joke: "Don't get me wrong Annie was having sugar at six months, Ted didn't even see sugar until he was three." Even though Alex didn't elaborate on her husband's mental health struggles, she did touch on the subject during an episode on the How to Fail Podcast, where she mentioned that he went "downhill fast mentally". She added: "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 rough patch where, bless him, he had Lyme Disease and viral meningitis. There have been quite a few challenges recently." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.
