The One Show presenter Alex Jones sparked concern among fans this week after sharing a video of herself having a medical procedure to her Instagram Stories.
In the clip, posted on Monday (September 29), the beloved TV host could be seen lying on a hospital bed wearing a pair of light tan high-waisted jeans and white sneakers.
A doctor appeared to be treating her lower left leg as she filmed the moment.

The unexpected post prompted an outpouring of concern from followers, many of whom feared something serious might be wrong.
But in a follow-up video posted shortly after, Alex, 48, reassured fans and explained the full story behind the seemingly dramatic scene.
“The last video has created more questions than answers,” she began, speaking directly to the camera with a smile.
“Basically, I went to the mole clinic. They said this little freckle on your leg needs to come off. I said: ‘Oh, well, can you do it now? Because I’m here now.’ And they said: ‘Alright then.'”
‘Unexpected start to a Monday’
Alex went on to explain that the reason she was still fully dressed, shoes and all, was down to time pressure.
“The only thing is, I’d only got 10 minutes. That’s why my shoes are still on in the video despite the fact I’m on a hospital bed,” she said.
She then lifted her trouser leg to reveal a small plaster on the removal site, confirming that the mole had been successfully removed and sent for testing as a precaution.
“[The doctor] put some anaesthetic in my leg, whipped it off, and was going to send it away,” she continued. “I think better safe than sorry, isn’t it? And if you’re there, you might as well just do it all at the same time.”
Alex signed off by calling it an “unexpected start to a Monday”. However, she admitted she was “glad it’s done”.
