Alex Jones may be on a break from The One Show, but fans will be delighted to see her return to our screens on Thursday in her emotional new show called Reunion Hotel. 

Sharing a trailer of the upcoming BBC series, the 46-year-old was seen fighting back tears as she hugged a guest on the show. Watch below: 

According to the BBC, Reunion Hotel opens its doors to those longing for a life-affirming reunion. Each episode will feature poignant stories from guests who reconnect and share the things they never got to say to someone from their past.

"If you could reunite with one person from your past, who would it be? In our one-of-a-kind #ReunionHotel, we give people a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reunite with someone from their past that has played a pivotal role in their lives," Alex later wrote on Instagram.

In response to Alex's question, one fan said: "My estranged son... It's been almost 20 years now and each day my heart breaks just a little more." Another post read: "My best friends mum when I was a teenage, she saw me when no one else did." 

Of the show, Alex previously said: "To be able to play an integral part in the reunion of lost friendships, family members and past loves is very exciting. 

"I'm so looking forward to checking into the hotel to help bring these heart-warming stories to life, and helping the guests reconnect with a piece of their lives they thought had been lost."
