Alex Jones shares heartbreaking family update as celeb pal steps in to help in emergency

Welsh BBC star Alex Jones has shared a heartbreaking update on her family's pet, after she called on a celebrity pal to help her in her emergency. The One Show host, 48, shared her harrowing experience on social media, telling her followers Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick saved the day.

She described her friend as the "light at the end of a pretty scary 24 hours" after she found her new pet in pain after being hit by a car. Alex told her fans: "We think our gorgeous little kitten, Sabrina was hit by a car yesterday evening but despite breaking her pelvis, she managed to crawl back to the house to tell us that she was hurt.

"After overnight emergency care, she is now with @profnoelfitzpatrick at his hospital where I'm certain she will receive the best care possible." Posing for a selfie with Noel, Alex added: "My brilliant friend @profnoelfitzpatrick has been the light at the end of a pretty scary 24 hours."

Mum-of-three Alex announced to her fans that her family had adopted their kitten Sabrina in March this year. She, her husband Charlie Thomson and their children Kit, Teddy and Annie, said they were "obsessed" with their "most perfect little kitty kat."

Their new addition joined their growing family, after she revealed last year that they had also welcomed a new puppy into the fold. Charlie had shocked his family with the heartwarming surprise, with Alex expressing her feelings to her followers.

In a fit of excitement, Alex shared: "Big news!!! There is a new addition to the family and it was a COMPLETE SURPRISE (thanks Charlie).

"It was a huge shock but I’ve fallen head over heels with little Scout, we all have. The children’s faces were a picture!!! I’ve never had a dog before so any puppy advice would be most welcome."

In the video, taken in her sprawling garden, Alex introduced her pup to fans saying: "So I have a bit of news. On Monday night, and it's taking me a few days to process it, I came home here and Charlie was standing in the middle of the drive with what I thought was a jumper in his hands. And then this black jumper moved.”

She continued: "I got out of the car and I said, ‘Whose dog is that?’ And he said, ‘Ours’. We have a new arrival. Look, we have a new little baby.

"This is Scout. Say hi. ‘Hi everybody, hello’. He's 10 and a half weeks old. I absolutely love him. He's gorgeous."

But Alex recently opened up about one of her husband's habits that gets under her skin, claiming his love of The Simpsons sends her "into a spin." In a candid chat on their Binge! podcast, she told McFly star Harry Judd that Charlie loves to watch the animated show, and has also introduced to their eight year old son Teddy.

However, she believes it's "not suitable" for kids, with the show usually being given a PG or 12 rating in the UK. She told Harry: "I hate The Simpsons. That, what's his name [Homer], I hate him.

"It's because Charlie keeps putting it on. He's the antithesis of me, he absolutely loves it, and he has now started showing it to Ted and it's just not suitable. It sends me into a spin every time I walk into the room and the bloody Simpsons is on. No."
