Songs of Praise host Aled Jones is axed by the BBC amid allegations of sexual harassment
The former choirboy (pictured right and inset), who shot to fame for his Christmas cover of Walking In The Air in the 1980s, has not been on the BBC since last month as a result of an investigation. The married father-of-two, 46, is accused of sending inappropriate messages to a female member of staff at the Corporation 'over a decade ago'.
Former Cash In The Attic and Escape To The Country host Jones has apologised for his behaviour and agreed to lie low while the BBC investigates.
A spokesman for the TV star said the allegation 'does not concern his broadcast work' and that the incident took place 'over a decade ago'. He said it was 'occasionally juvenile' but he 'never intended to harass or distress'.
The spokesman added: 'He is, however, deeply sorry for any upset caused and hopes this matter is resolved soon.' He is pictured left with fellow presenters Pam Rhodes and Diane Louise Jordan.
