Alex Jones cuts a casual figure in a blue jumper and jeans as she leaves BBC Morning Live

Alex Jones looked casual as she stepped out of the BBC Morning Live studios in Manchester on Thursday- after crying on The One Show over Len Goodman’s death.

The television presenter donned a blue jumper and cropped jeans, showcasing her slender figure.

She carried a large puffy red coat as she strolled through the Northern capital.

Alex added a pair of white trainers to her relaxed ensemble and wore her brunette locks in loose waves.

She accessorised with a small pair of hoop earrings and a necklace and carried a box of biscuits.

It comes after Alex became emotional on The One Show as the programme remembered Len on Monday’s edition of the series.

Guest Anton Du Beke, 56, was also overcome with emotion as he paid  tribute to the late star.

Len died at a hospice in Tunbridge Wells following a short battle with bone cancer on Saturday night, days ahead of his 79th birthday.  

Anton appeared on the BBC programme via video link where he revealed the advice Len gave him ahead of becoming a Strictly judge in 2021.

Anton began: ‘He said to me when I got the job…’ but choked up before finishing his sentence. 

He continued, ‘Ridiculous, isn’t it? When I got the job, he said, “Say what you see, and be yourself.” And that was exactly as Len was. He was himself. I was lucky enough to know him for a long time.’

When Anton said he had been ‘lucky to call Len a friend’, an emotional Alex replied, ‘Oh, what a lovely tribute.’

Former Strictly professionals Flavia Cacace and AJ Pritchard also paid tribute to Len. Italian professional dancer Flavia, 43, who appeared on Strictly between 2006 and 2012, and AJ, 28, who was on the show from 2016 to 2019, spoke of their fond memories of Len during while chatting to Vanessa Feltz on Talk TV on Monday.

 Flavia, who is married to actor Jimi Mistry, her partner on Strictly in 2010, said: ‘It was an absolute shock this morning – my husband mentioned it to me and I just couldn’t believe it. I didn’t know he was unwell so it does come as a complete shock…

‘He was very respected in the ballroom world as a competitor and an adjudicator, but he also had this incredible charisma for the showbiz side of things and I think that’s what made it such a success, was that he was able to bring the two worlds together and thank goodness he was part of Strictly from the beginning, because without him, it would’ve been very different. 

‘He was just the perfect match for the show.’
