The One Show's Alex Jones broke down crying on last night's (November 16) show after an emotional Children in Need segment.

Highlighting this year's Rickshaw Challenge, the segment saw Luke – who has cerebral palsy – taking to the West End stage at Aladdin to encourage the audience to raise money for the challenge, which he is taking part in.

After talking to Luke outside, it cut back to Alex and co-host Amol Rajan in the studio, as she had to wipe away tears and be consoled by Amol, apologising to guest Michael McIntyre for getting emotional.

Don't worry Alex, you weren't the only one.

Children in Need will air a full night of entertainment from the BBC's London studios on Friday, November 17 on BBC One and BBC Two.

In other news, Alex recently revealed her reaction to finding out that she was paid £50,000 less than her co-presenter Matt Baker, which came to light when the BBC revealed the pay brackets of its employees.

"Matt and I have never discussed wages, but I assumed we got paid the same," she explained. "I was quite shocked. I guess everybody else was."
