Alex Jones Says She Was 'Last to Know' About Jermaine Jenas Complaints

Jones describes finding out only after the BBC acted and praises the women who reported concerns as brave.

Overview

  • Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, Jones said the BBC handled the matter independently and informed her after decisions were taken.
  • Jenas was dismissed by the BBC in August 2024 following complaints that he sent inappropriate messages to female colleagues.
  • The fallout cost him presenting roles on The One Show, Match of the Day and 5 Live, and his agency MC Saatchi ended its representation.
  • Jenas later launched a production company and returned to broadcasting on TalkSport in February 2025, saying he made a mistake but did nothing illegal.
  • Jones expressed respect for the women who came forward and reflected on how workplace norms and confidence to report misconduct have shifted over time.
