She continued: ‘The whole team make it such a special place to work. They are the best of the best!!!!! I feel very grateful to everyone I’ve worked alongside over the years.
‘It’s also such a privilege to have been on your screens for that long and I want to say a huge THANK YOU for all your kind message. I’m overwhelmed in the best way possible! Reading them makes me cry!!!! .
‘I feel very lucky to have my job and don’t for one second take it for granted.
‘Here’s just a little selection of pics from last night. The first photo, kindly take by Moira Hoffman is one of my favourites ever.’
Alex was left visibly emotional when her husband Charlie made the surprise appearance on The One Show on Friday.
Towards the end of the show, co-hosts Roman, 32, and Richard Osman, 54, shocked Alex by welcoming her husband of 10 years onto the famous green sofa.
Clearly stunned, Alex looked lost for words as Charlie walked in holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The couple embraced warmly, sharing a kiss before sitting down together.
Roman asked Alex: ‘Is it weird seeing him on the sofa?’

Alex wrote: ‘Yesterday was a complete whirlwind! Even better than a birthday! Surreal and amazing. It’s a huge honour to have been on The One Show for 15 years and it’s flown by!’
Still emotional, she replied: ‘It’s very weird, it’s weird being this side. It’s weird being next to you. You’re normally in the garden, building the treehouse now.’
When asked how he felt about his wife’s milestone, Charlie shared: ‘I’m extremely proud, not just from what she’s achieved here but also with the family at home.
‘Balancing those two has been amazing and keeping it tide over at different times. Covid period, always there.’
Fighting back tears, Alex added: ‘I couldn’t do it without this man at home who keeps everything running while I’m here and sorts out the children and bedtime while I’m here.’
She went on: ‘And mum and dad and the family and friends at home who keep my feet on the ground – Everybody here as well and our viewers who’ve put up with me for 15 years – thank you.’
Alex and Charlie married in 2015 and share three children – Edward, eight, Kit, six, and Annie, who turns four next week.
Last year, the presenter opened up about a ‘rough period’ in their relationship when Charlie was battling Lyme disease and viral meningitis.
Speaking on Gabby Logan’s podcast The MidPoint, Alex said that he is ‘in a much better place now’ but was a ‘shadow of himself’ as he suffered with his mental health over the illness.
She said: ‘It’s my husband’s own story to tell, so I won’t go into detail, but he suffers with his mental health,
‘And we’ve just been through a really bad period where, bless him, he had Lyme Disease and then he had viral meningitis. Lots of things happened recently.’

Earlier this week, Alex reflected on her journey with the show, telling the BBC: ‘I feel incredibly proud to have been on the iconic sofa for all these years.
‘It certainly doesn’t feel like 15 years, and it still feels fresh, as the show keeps evolving. I feel like we keep coming back better and better.
‘I started as a young girl, and I feel like I’ve grown up with our viewers. They have seen me through all my big life moments, like getting engaged and married, to having children. Our viewers are like extended family by now!’
