Alex Jones appears to be having the best time on her trip to the Isle of Lewis and Harris, Scotland! The One Show presenter, who will be broadcasting the show live from the island on Thursday, has been taking the opportunity to explore during her time in the Outer Hebrides – and it proves she’s just like the rest of us!
The 41-year-old’s trip started with a walk on the beach with her co-presenter Matt Baker, with the pair happily posing for a photo with a family who had welcomed them with a “The One Show” sign on the sand. “What a view! Thanks to this lovely family and their dog for the picture and the one show sign! See you from here live tomorrow night on @bbctheoneshow,” Alex captioned the photo.

But there was one thing she had to do first – watch Love Island! Sharing a snap from her hotel bed, Alex told fans: “In bed by 9.30 on my own watching @loveisland with a full night of sleep ahead. Miracle.”

Meanwhile, on Thursday Alex took the opportunity to venture to see Lews Castle, a Victorian castle in Stornoway. “Exploring! Found the castle,” she captioned a selfie of herself standing in front of the monument, which dates back to the 1840s and is a category A listed building.

And even though they were on their way to work, Alex and Matt couldn’t resist picking up a bottle of the local spirit – which is infused with sugar kelp – to sample later.

“Stopped off on our way to location…GIN!!!!” Alex captioned one video from outside the distillery, before sharing another as she left with some bags in hand. “Would be rude not to…” she joked.
