Ahead of The One Show’s 20th anniversary on August 14, which the BBC is celebrating with a special hour-long episode, the presenter shares her earliest TV memories, the piece of advice she lives by, and why she has her local drama teacher to thank for her success.
We live in a home that we call "care home chic." We bought it from a lady who’d lived there for around 50 years and she last redecorated in 1976, before I was born. We’ve inherited these tapestry sofas. We’ve also got a table that used to be a stretcher in the Second World War, so the living room is not our style at the moment, but it’s cosy.
I’ve fallen into that middle-aged lull where every evening ends with herbal tea and some dark chocolate. That’s where I am in life and I’m quite happy.
When I was around three, Mum would put me in front of the TV to watch Play School when she’d make my lunch. I also watched Tickle on the Tum and Button Moon. Those programmes you watch when you're really little stay with you. I remember thinking, "Those presenters play all day for a living, maybe I could do that." And here we are.
My drama teacher unlocked something in me. She told me that even though I was shy, when it came to ad-libbing in a class, I wasn’t shy at all. She showed me that even though I’m shy I can still be confident. She changed my perception of what was possible.
Always do the job to the best of your ability, whether it's 30,000 people watching or three million.
The thing I’m most proud of is being able to balance motherhood with a pretty full-on job [Jones has three children, Teddy, Kit and Annie]. They’re things I always wanted and I feel incredibly lucky to have both. The biggest challenge is making sure I’m present enough for my children.
