The One Show host Alex Jones and her husband Charlie Thomson beam like happy campers after exchanging rather unconventional wedding vows.

While insurance broker Charlie vowed “not to take too long in the shower”.

BBC presenter Alex married Charlie in a ceremony at Cardiff Castle on New Year’s Eve.

Talking about her wedding, she told Hello! magazine: “It was spectacular. Everyone says it’s the best day of your life and it just exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed every single second.

“I’d told myself not to let it pass in a blur, because it really is quite overwhelming and nerve-racking.

"But I really did love it, seeing all my friends’ faces. And then once I held hands with Charlie, I thought, ‘We’re right’.”

Charlie said he couldn’t stop smiling as his bride walked down the aisle.

He said: “Alex looked absolutely stunning.”

During the ceremony the couple spoke in English and Welsh and their vows included a “personal touch”.

Charlie’s vows included a promise to “stand by you, whatever the future holds, to cherish and care for you and always be there for you when you need my support”, before adding: “I promise not to take too long in the shower and to be on time.”

As for Alex’s vows, in the past she has admitted she is not great at camping, despite covering events like Glastonbury festival for the BBC.

Speaking in 2013 when she stayed at Glasto in a trailer, she told the Mirror: “It’s AGES since I last camped properly.......about 13 years. I was with an ex boyfriend who insisted we went.

“We had one of those awful two-man tents with two poles and a bit of canvas. We might as well have had a Tesco bag over us for all the good it did.

“We ended up having an argument and sleeping in the car and we split up the next day.

“So that was fun!”
