Alex replied: "Better than I was. But you know, sponsored by pineapple juice."

Kind-hearted viewers of The One Show did as they were told and sent in suggestions, which the pair discussed later in the show.
Alex said: "Thank you so much for the sore throat remedies."
She then turned to guests, Thor stars Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson and said: "I don't normally speak like this ladies - you won't know that!
"I've got a hoarse voice, I think I've got a bit of laryngitis, but I feel fine! Anyway, thank you."

She then read out some suggestions, saying: "A toddy apparently, was invented in India. I thought... I don't know.
"That's whiskey, honey and cinnamon, that suits me, I'll do a bit of that!"
She wasn't as keen on one that Jermaine read out as he said: "Chopped onion and brown sugar in a bowl...drink the juice...sounds horrendous!"
Addressing the viewer, Alex said with a grimace: "Oh, Claire! I think I'd rather have this for a few weeks."
