Alex Jones reveals she was completely unaware about complaints made against her The One Show co-host Jermaine Jenas
Alex Jones has revealed she was completely unaware about complaints made against her The One Show co-host Jermaine Jenas. Jenas, 42, was taken off the show after being fired by the BBC for sending inappropriate messages to female employees during his time at the corporation. The sexting scandal also cost Jenas his 13-year marriage after his wife Ellie, the mother of three of his four children, announced the pair were divorcing earlier in March. Someone who was oblivious to the complaints was Welsh presenter Alex, who used to host The One Show alongside Jenas. Speaking to The Big Issue, she said: 'I very much take people on face value. But with JJ I didn't know what was going on. I thought he was taking extended leave. 'If that was my daughter and she felt uncomfortable with someone's behaviour, I hope that whatever company she was working for would deal with it swiftly as well.' Jenas, who also has a daughter from a previous relationship, was sacked by the BBC in August, which resulted in him losing his hosting gig on The One Show and punditry work on both Match of the Day and 5 Live. The BBC confirmed their decision while he was on air guest hosting talkSPORT's drive time show. His agency MC Saatchi also cut ties with him before he brought in a crisis PR team to handle the aftermath of the scandal. Jenas revealed he lied to wife Ellie during a family holiday in order to sneak off and take a Zoom call with BBC bosses after news of his X-rated messages was first revealed within the broadcaster. And he also told how she had kicked him out of their £1million home in Hertfordshire after he admitted sending inappropriate messages to two female colleagues. Speaking to the Filthy Rellas podcast last month, Jenas claimed historical problems within the relationship also contributed to the break up. He said: 'The reality is, me and my wife haven't split up because I sent some text messages to some people at work. 'We had issues for a period of time, it all comes to a head and you eventually make a decision to say, as adults, we will be better parents for our children if we just remain friends and that's it. 'We had 16 amazing years together, me and my wife, how many people last that long? Sixteen years. Ups and downs. She caught the wrong end of my [playing] career, bless her.' During an interview with The Sun shortly after he was sacked by the BBC, Jenas admitted his wife was 'raging' over the incident. He said: 'We've not really spoken properly since. She's absolutely raging.' Jenas continued: 'It's just about the children right now. It's the school holidays and they're trapped in the house because photographers are outside my house. '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. 'I don't know what to say about that, to be honest with you. It's just hard at home for the kids right now. My wife's a real one 'My wife is solid and she's amazing. She is kind. She just needs some time.' Jenas bombarded a woman working at the World Cup in Qatar two years ago with unwanted messages asking 'You want my boy now?' During the interview, Jenas insisted Ellie should not fear more women coming out of the woodwork with tales of further inappropriate behaviour. However, weeks after the scandal broke, MailOnline revealed Jenas bombarded a woman working at the World Cup in Qatar two years ago with unwanted messages asking 'You want my boy now?' before sending her a picture of his manhood, despite her making clear she was not interested in his advances. The following week, we also told how he repeatedly pestered a junior make-up artist for sex - and when she told him she had a boyfriend replied: 'Just come to my dressing room early and I'll [perform a sex act] on u… that's not cheating.' That incident took place when he was working for BT Sport in 2017, where he was a rising star as a football pundit.

Further concerns raised over new maritime legislation in Jersey
A scrutiny panel in Jersey has again raised concerns over proposed rule changes aimed at strengthening maritime legislation on the Economic and International Affairs Scrutiny Panel already raised doubts over the legislation not being able to stop people using boats while under the influence of drink or drugs. Now it has asked for clarity on who would be carrying out breath tests if alcohol was suspected to have contributed to causing death or serious panel said it understood there was a Memorandum of Understanding between the police and harbour to undertake breath tests, but it had "not yet been completed". 'Lack of clarity' The panel said it would like to see a copy of the agreement so it can "better understand the impact on the resources available".It has also requested details on the current legislation around careless or dangerous operation of a commercial vessel while under the influence of drugs or of the panel, Deputy Montfort Tadier, said the proposed legislation put forward by the Minister for Sustainable Economic Development has a "lack of clarity".He said there were questions over how it would be policed and where the different responsibilities will fall. Mr Tadier said: "The panel is aware that budget constraints mean the States of Jersey are having to carefully consider how their resources are used."The panel has already made it clear that we are concerned that a specific offence relating to the operation of a vessel while intoxicated has not been included in the draft regulations." He added: "Before we make any further recommendations or amendments to the proposition, we need to better understand how the current proposals would impact existing resources and what any further changes could mean for the police or Harbour Master."The panel will present its findings and recommendations to the States Assembly ahead of further debate on the draft regulations, which is due to take place in October.

Warning of 'trouble' in Trowbridge without more youth facilities
A small business owner has warned politicians and police to "expect trouble" unless more money is invested in youth Witter, who co-founded Food Amore restaurant in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, said she regularly witnessed anti-social behaviour among young people in the town. Police and crime commissioner (PCC) Philip Wilkinson has vowed to tackle the issue as well as introducing a Public Spaces Protection Order. "We just need more resource and more grants and more money to do more," said Wiltshire councillor Jo Trigg. Trowbridge residents, businesses and councillors met with the PCC at an event last week to discuss their concerns about crime in the town. Ms Witter said she was particularly concerned about young people's behaviour during the summer holidays."Apart from the skate park, where is there for these children to go? So don't be surprised when they're hanging out outside The Shires making the place look a bit risky."The children that don't tend to hang out, will hang out. That will become their culture. Then they'll start mixing with the wrong crowd, and then what? "Kids are easily influenced," she added. "You need to nip it in the bud, because you're dragging good kids into bad trouble." Ms Witter suggested a share of the £9m invested on restoring the town hall would have been better spent on a community centre. Kowann O'Neill, an 18-year-old from the town, said he frequently sees underage drinkers. He said: "Lots of kids would rather go out, get drunk and do drugs because there's not enough entertainment or any fun activities."These kids are going to grow up with the worst reputation, their education is ruined. "They're not going to have good jobs. It is just sad." Police community support officer Harry Brain patrols the town centre, speaking to intoxicated people and drug users to signpost them to the help available. He said there was an increase in this type of behaviour over the past year, but described a "massive decrease" in recent weeks. However, Mr Brain said business owners told him they see anti-social behaviour "24/7". Mr Brain said it was vital anybody who had concerns about behaviour in the town reports it to the police."There has been a few issues in the past with communication between the agencies and who's responsible for what," he said."I think we are seeing that the responsibilities are more shared and we know exactly what we should be doing and where we should be going," he added. He said reporting problems will help police in the long-term by showing them where patrols should be carried out. Ms Trigg is also a trustee for the charity Trowbridge Future, which runs youth activities.A venue on Mill Street opened last year following an award of more than £430,000 in National Lottery Trigg has said "more and more" teens are going to the building to seek a safe space to hang out.
