The One Show‘s Alex Jones previously revealed the shocking moment an accident on the set of the Great British Bake Off left her with a “massive” piece of glass in her hand.
The presenter, 47, was filming The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer back in 2020 when she suffered an injury and needed stitches.

Alex Jones on GBBO mishap
In a chat with the Metro, she explained at the time: “They had these fancy electric mixers, where you attach the glass bowl, put the whisk in and press go. It turns out my bowl wasn’t attached and the moment the blade hit it, the bowl shattered into 1,000 pieces.”
Speaking further, the mum-of-two recalled: “I’m saying, ‘I’m absolutely fine’ before realising there’s a massive shard of glass sticking out of my hand. I had to go straight off to the paramedic for stitches.
“He said, ‘I’m just going to put in the anaesthetic’ and I was like, ‘No, there’s no time for that, I have a showstopper to make, just do it!'”
‘I barely made anything edible’
The moment quickly became a meme. The official GBBO account uploaded a video entitled “Alex Jones vs Machinery”.
And, after her lack of success on the show, Alex vowed to “buy cakes instead”.
Revealing the biggest lesson she learnt in the famous tent, she said: “Let’s just say, it wasn’t like the show I’ve seen where people produce these incredible cakes,” she laughed. “I barely made anything edible.”
