Alex Jones reveals she was completely unaware about complaints made against her The One Show co-host Jermaine Jenas

BBG News

According to Alex Jones, she had no knowledge whatsoever about the complaints lodged against her fellow host on The One Show, Jermaine Jenas.

In a recent turn of events, Jenas, aged 42, was removed from the program following his termination by the BBC, due to his conduct of sending inappropriate communications to female colleagues while working within the organization.

The sexting controversy ultimately led to Jenas’s divorce from his wife Ellie, who is the mother of three out of his four kids. They announced their separation back in March.

Unaware of the complaints was Alex, a Welsh presenter formerly co-hosting The One Show with Jenas.

When talking to The Big Issue, she stated: “I generally judge people based on their initial appearance. However, with JJ, it wasn’t clear to me what was happening. I assumed he was just taking an extended break.

If my daughter experienced discomfort due to someone’s behavior at work, I would expect the company to handle it promptly.

In August, Jenas, who is also a father to a child from a past relationship, was let go by the BBC. This termination led to him no longer being able to host The One Show or perform his analysis roles on Match of the Day and 5 Live.

The BBC confirmed their decision while he was on air guest hosting talkSPORT’s drive time show.

Before the crisis PR team was brought in to manage the fallout from the scandal, his public relations agency, McSaatchi, had already severed ties with him.

During a family vacation, it came to light that Jena had deceived his wife Ellie by slipping away to attend a Zoom meeting with executives from the BBC, all this happening soon after the initial revelation about his inappropriate messages within the company.

He additionally shared that she had asked him to leave their million-pound residence in Hertfordshire following his confession about sending inappropriate messages to two work colleagues of hers.

During an interview on the Filthy Rellas podcast last month, Jenas suggested that longstanding issues within their relationship were a significant factor leading to its end.

He explained that the reason for his and his wife not separating wasn’t due to any inappropriate text messages he sent to colleagues at work.

For some time, we faced difficulties. Eventually, after much contemplation, we decided, as mature individuals, that maintaining a friendship would benefit us as parents more than anything else for the sake of our children.

For sixteen years, I shared a wonderful journey with my spouse. Few manage to sustain such longevity. We experienced our fair share of highs and lows. Unfortunately, she was impacted by the challenging aspects of my professional life during those years, but she’s truly remarkable.

In a conversation with The Sun not long after being dismissed by the BBC, Jenas confessed that his spouse was extremely upset about the situation.

He said: ‘We’ve not really spoken properly since. She’s absolutely raging.’

At the moment, it’s all about the kids for me. They’re stuck at home during the school break due to photographers camped outside my residence.

‘They’re like, ‘What’s going on, Daddy?’. It’s tough.’

He added: ‘I’ve got to take responsibility and I’ve apologised to all of them.

To put it simply, I find myself at a loss for words concerning that matter. The truth is, things are tough at home for our children presently. My wife is truly an exceptional individual in this challenging situation.

‘My wife is solid and she’s amazing. She is kind. She just needs some time.’

In the interview, Jenas urged Ellie not to be worried about additional women emerging, ready to share stories of further questionable behavior.

After the scandal surfaced, it was later disclosed that TopMob’s employee, Jenas, had harassed a woman working at the World Cup in Qatar two years prior. This involved persistent and unwanted messages asking “Are you interested in my boy now?”, along with sending her an explicit image, despite her repeatedly expressing disinterest in his advances.

Show up at my dressing room early and I’ll perform a sex act on you… that’s not considered cheating.

In the year 2017, that event occurred while he was employed at BT Sport, during which time he was rapidly advancing his career as a football analyst.
