Alex Jones, the beloved host of the BBC's flagship programme The One Show, has made a startling revelation about her time on the sofa, confessing she was sent a series of 'creepy' messages by a former male co-star.
The Welsh presenter disclosed the unsettling experience during a candid interview on the Table Manners podcast with Jessie and Lennie Ware. The incident was serious enough to be escalated to the show's bosses, triggering an internal BBC investigation into the man's conduct.
'It Was Just Creepy'
Jones did not name the individual involved but expressed her discomfort, stating the messages were not overtly sexual but were decidedly inappropriate. "It was just creepy," she explained, highlighting the vague yet disturbing nature of the communication that left her feeling uneasy.
The swift action taken by the production team was a point of reassurance for Jones. She praised the management, confirming that the issue was "dealt with really well and really quickly," and the man in question was subsequently removed from the programme.
A Supportive Environment Behind the Scenes
This incident casts a spotlight on the working environment within one of the BBC's most popular shows. Jones's account suggests a robust support system for presenters, with producers taking allegations of misconduct seriously and acting promptly to protect their staff.
The matter appears to have been resolved internally, with no further public action taken. Jones's decision to speak out now sheds light on the often-hidden challenges faced by television personalities, even on light-hearted entertainment shows.
