Alex Jones was excited to arrive in Sydney on Wednesday, ahead of joining Prince Harry and Meghan at the Invictus Games. The One Show host couldn't resist sharing a photo of her view across the city after the long-haul flight, telling followers: "Touched down in Sydney! Good view!!"
The Instagram Stories post showcased the city skyline, with the Sydney Opera House and harbour visible at the back. But Alex won't have long to explore all the city has to offer, as she will be busy preparing to host the Invictus Games coverage for the BBC, alongside her co-host JJ Chalmers.

JJ Chalmers and I are flying off to Sydney next week to get to know Team GB and to bring you all the coverage," Alex wrote. "Our first programme covers the opening ceremony on Friday 19th. I hope you can join us."

The mum-of-one has previously met Prince Harry at Buckingham Palace in June 2017, when she hosted the Queen's Young Leaders Awards ceremony for The One Show. Alex said at the time that the experience was "awe-inspiring", and shared a photo of herself and co-host Matt Baker at the palace on Instagram, adding the caption: "Her majesty was fashionably late but cool as a cucumber and Prince Harry is just a dream."
