Alex Jones

I have just seen that Alex Jones is about to sign a new £150k per year deal with the BBC which means she will be on TV 7 days per week! AIBU to want to throw my remote control through the TV every time I see or hear her on the telly!? Watching her is car crash TV as it's worst, she is truly truly awful.

Who is Alex Jones? Not the former boy soprano, I take it?

mummytotwoboys · 09/08/2011 10:55

the one show lady? she seems ok. Better than a lot of other BBC presenters anyway :)

I agree. I think she is awful, and clearly not very bright which is so obvious during her exchanges with some of her cleverer guests. Not that I`m jealous of the salary...mmm.

ThierryHenryismyBoyfriend · 09/08/2011 10:59

Her interview with Rod Stewart was toe curling awful. Surely the BBC can get someone better for their money...... My son is available for half that cost and at 3.5 I'm sure he'll do a better job.

Marvellous - £170,000 a year. Shock
The BEEB always does this - finds a "face" and then over-exposes them.
John Barrowman springs to mind [bleurgh].
I agree that she appears to struggle a bit to find something to say to more "intellectual" guests on The One show.
Her passing resemblance to Christine Bleakley probably had something to do with her getting that job.

MrsMatelot · 09/08/2011 11:04

She is terrible. Pay me 20K a year & I would do a better job of presenting...Oh hang on I'm in my 40's slightly overweight and not as pretty as Alex!

YANBU, she annoys the goddamned hell out of me. Her voice, her makeup, her wooden presenting style, her fake laugh... aghhhggrrrrhh! Cold, cold, cold.

I don't think she and the other One Show presenter have any chemistry at all, either. The pair of them just seem a bit nervous to me. He's quite sweet though.

notso · 09/08/2011 11:17

It worked Filibear my Grandpa refuses to believe she is not Christine Bleakley, am considering writing to The One Show and asking them to do a feature on it.

I bet Alex Jones cannot believe her luck, she has at best the presenting skills of London on CBBC.

HappyAsIAm · 09/08/2011 11:17

iz it becoz she is Welsh?

kittensliveupstairs · 09/08/2011 11:21

I don't like her, but I am not keen on Christine Bleakley either.
TBH, I thought her salary would have been at least twice that already. Seems I am out of touch with telly presenters wages.

ellmum · 09/08/2011 11:22

She makes my ears sting.

notso · 09/08/2011 11:24

I think it's a shame that her and Steve Jones are the best Wales has to offer.

The Go Compare man was presenting a piece about the Eisteddfod the other day, he was really good, and seemed like a nice man.

ThierryHenryismyBoyfriend · 09/08/2011 11:24

Nothing to do with her being welsh, having the personality and intelligence of a fruit fly is more to do with it!

Salmotrutta · 09/08/2011 11:26

Christine Bleakley was also very annoying - so they really are quite similar aren't they?

CurrySpice · 09/08/2011 11:44

£150,000 doesn't seem very much does it? (Obviously it is a fucking massive amount in the real world, but not in the over-inflated cloud cuckoo land of celebrity salaries!)

AnyFucker · 09/08/2011 11:54

Alex Jones is the most curiously old-fashioned-looking young woman

I find her well, rather odd

ThierryHenryismyBoyfriend · 09/08/2011 12:11

£150k for being talentless though!?

Is that the bloody Geordie one??

Weirdpenguin · 19/12/2018 17:42

The Geordie one is Steph and she is actually quick witted. I think it's good to have people from different regions. Alex Jones is okay at what she does imo

marvellousnightforamooncup · 19/12/2018 17:44

I love Steph, I like Alex too.

CrabbyPatty · 19/12/2018 17:45

Great to see women bashing other women Hmm

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 19/12/2018 17:45

Zombie Hmm

loveiseverything · 19/12/2018 19:17

I have absolutely no idea what I'm on about, I've completely got the one show mixed up with something else....help me out here. It has a Geordie presenter and another lady and a fella presenting. The Geordie cannot present for toffee. I can't watch whatever show it is I'm talking about because of her
