Major stars and viewers flood social media with tributes following the BBC’s special announcement about Alex Jones’s significant milestone.

In 2010, Alex Jones stepped onto the legendary green sofa, replacing Christine Bleakley, and since then, she has become the indispensable “heart” of The One Show. This week, she officially celebrates 15 years on the air—a rare career milestone in the volatile world of television!

✨ The Sparkling Journey of ‘The One Show’s Heart’

To honor this achievement, the BBC has announced a special episode of The One Show to be broadcast this Friday, August 8th.

Even more touching, the show’s social media accounts posted a heartfelt video tribute, tracking Alex’s journey from 2010 through 2025, showcasing her evolving fashion choices and hairstyles over the years. The warm post was accompanied by the praise: “15 fabulous years of smiles, stories, and sparkle! Here’s to Alex Jones – the heart of The One Show throughout the years!”

Beneath the post, famous faces offered lavish praise. Fellow presenter Zoe Ball affectionately crowned her: “Adore you Al. Happy anniversary. Queen of the green sofa.”

Comedian Jason Manford declared: “You’re the best,” while stars including Helen Skelton, Clara Amfo, and Lauren Laverne also shared their best wishes.
