Alex Jones may have been on our screens for decades, but she admits there’s still plenty that she doesn’t know. Taking to the stage on day two of Stylist Live, in a conversation that is now available to hear as an episode of our Stylist Live Sessions podcast, Jones told the crowd that she regularly finds herself outside of her comfort zone when interviewing high-profile figures and politicians, but that she doesn’t let it stop her from achieving her goals.

Ahead of her new 10-part documentary Alex Jones: Making Babies (airing on W and UKTV Play in January), Jones shared that the experience of training as a fertility assistant for the show had been a life-changing one.

“The best way to really get under the skin was for me to train, so I learned how to take blood and do observations. But I guess what it really taught me is how to be a great human being, because all these people – fertility assistants, doctors, nurses – they are the best. The kindness they show their patients, the amount of support, empathy and warmth. These are all things we take for granted when we look at our NHS.”
