The One Show host Alex Jones has revealed she was moved to tears while listening to Sara Cox's emotional update on her BBC Children in Need challenge. The Radio 2 presenter is currently running 135 miles across four counties to raise funds for the charity.
On Wednesday, Sara was overcome with emotion after learning she had surpassed the £1 million fundraising mark, admitting she felt 'broken'. Later that day on The One Show, Alex told co-host Angellica Bell: 'I had to pull over because I was in floods of tears. She is amazing.'
Speaking to DJ Scott Mills on Radio 2, Sara exclaimed: 'Oh my God! That is amazing. Thank you. You've completely broken me. Everybody who has donated, thank you so much.' Scott, visibly emotional, praised his colleague for her achievement.
Sara's challenge involves running the equivalent of five marathons over five days. Alex sent her a message of support: 'If you're watching Sara, good luck, we are so behind you.' The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One, and Children in Need 2025 will be broadcast on Friday 14 November from 7pm.
