Alex Jones revealed her future plans on The One Show WEEKS before co-host Jermaine Jenas was sacked by the BBC for sending 'inappropriate texts'

As a seasoned broadcaster myself, I can empathize with Jermaine Jenas’ current predicament. The world of media is a delicate one, where one misstep can lead to severe consequences. It seems that Jenas has learned this lesson the hard way, and I must say, it’s a bitter pill to swallow for any public figure.


On Tuesday, Alex Jones discussed her upcoming role on The One Show after the termination of co-host Jermaine Jenas.

47-year-old host, having been part of the BBC show since 2010, expressed that she has no plans to depart from the program.

Earlier this month, Alex emphasized the importance of longevity when discussing her future, just days before former footballer Jermaine, aged 41, was relieved of his presenting tasks due to accusations of inappropriate behavior.

On Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, I shared: “I’m amazed to find myself still here, day after day I walk in, fulfill my duties, and try my best to fly under the radar. Yet, I couldn’t be more thrilled with this experience.”

People frequently inquire, “What are your plans for the future? Aren’t you interested in organizing a grand entertainment event?” To which I usually respond, “Could you clarify?” As it stands, I am genuinely content.

“She confessed that she intends to stay with her current projects, including The One Show, because it offers stability for her kids.”

She added: ‘While all new projects offer excitement and a fresh challenge, it’s crucial not to forget about the basics or essential tasks.’

While the additional features are thrilling and enjoyable, what truly matters to me is endurance. I desire to persist in this journey. As the primary source of income, my goal is to offer stability and security for my kids.

It comes after Jermaine revealed he cannot sleep and is ‘like a zombie’ after admitting to sending ‘inappropriate texts‘ to two co-workers.

Previously, the ex-football player lost his hosting positions on The One Show and Match of the Day following allegations about his conduct, which were brought up by more junior team members.

Currently, Jermaine expresses concerns about the potential fate of his 13-year marriage with Ellie Penfold, as she appears upset but has yet to officially part ways.

Former England, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder shared with The Sun that he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since he received the news (honestly speaking).

In my experience, there’s this palpable tension that accumulates within when faced with certain situations. I must confess, I haven’t resorted to sleep aids; instead, sleep has eluded me naturally.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me share my perspective: Sometimes, it feels like I’m merely lying there, thoughts swirling until exhaustion takes over. Yet, deep within, there’s a part of me yearning for more, urging me to push past the limit and go for a run, until every ounce of energy is spent.

Jermaine shared that his spouse, Ellie, hasn’t decided if their marriage will continue as it is, since they have three kids together and a teenage daughter from an earlier relationship.

In addition, he shared with the newspaper, “On many days, Ellie rises and checks on the kids first. This leaves me feeling embarrassed, as if I’ve failed not only myself but also my friends, family, and coworkers.”

Earlier, Jermaine had apologized sincerely to his previous female coworkers for the inappropriate messages he sent them. He offered this apology following reports that he was advised not to communicate with the two women because of ongoing legal proceedings.

Earlier, the speaker admitted to sending messages considered inappropriate by some, yet he emphasized that these exchanges took place between two individuals who mutually agreed. He also stated that his actions did not break any laws.

Jermaine, a family man with four kids, disclosed that he struggles with a pattern of self-sabotage in his relationships. He’s currently undergoing therapeutic care to address this issue.

Furthermore, he has voiced his disapproval towards the manner in which his previous company terminated him, and indicated that he intends to consult with his legal advisors regarding the matter.

Last year’s official reports indicate that Jena received a salary between £190,000 and £194,999 for his roles in the FA Cup, Match of the Day, and the World Cup at the BBC.

The details about his earnings from The One Show were not openly available since it’s a production by BBC Studios.

The most recent setback for the BBC has come about following the Huw Edwards child abuse controversy and accusations of bullying on Strictly Come Dancing.

Shortly following the announcement that he was taken off all BBC hosting rosters, Jenas commenced co-hosting a drive-time talkSPORT program alongside fellow ex-footballer Jermaine Pennant.

According to TalkSPORT, Jermaine is not scheduled to host any shows on their network in the coming days.

Occasionally, you might see Jenas on TNT Sports’ football broadcasts, but there’s an understanding that he won’t be appearing for several weeks ahead.

It is understood TNT Sports was unaware of the status of Jenas’s employment with the BBC.

In 2020, the man with four children took over as a temporary co-host for The One Show, filling in after Matt Baker left. The following year, they secured a permanent role on the show.

Jenas has been a regular pundit on sports programmes Match Of The Day and Match Of The Day 2 and a presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Although he is often seen as a likely choice to take over from Gary Lineker as Match of the Day’s host, it was observed that he was missing from the initial episode of this season on Saturday.

Throughout his time as a professional footballer, he represented England’s national team and donned the jerseys of Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Queens Park Rangers.

Jenas also hosts Formula E race coverage for TNT Sports.

However, a representative from Formula E has mentioned that they will thoughtfully select the line-up for the upcoming series following the conclusion of the previous season in July.

The consequences have led to the termination of Jenas’ contract with M&C Saatchi Merlin, a well-known talent and celebrity management agency, who represent figures such as Freddie Flintoff and Helen Skelton among others.

The BBC has not offered details on why Jenas’s contract was terminated.

In my own words, I’d like to share that I am no longer part of the team who presents for the corporation, as confirmed by me personally.
