    Singer and presenter Aled Jones denies 'inappropriate' behaviour

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42043422

    Singer Aled Jones has said he is "deeply sorry" for any upset caused after allegations about his behaviour, but denied any "inappropriate contact".

    Responding to newspaper claims of inappropriate "messages", his spokesman said the Songs of Praise star accepted his behaviour more than a decade ago had been "occasionally juvenile".

    The spokesman said he had "voluntarily agreed not to go on the BBC whilst the matter is investigated".

    The BBC is not commenting on the story.

    Mr Jones's spokesman added that the allegations from a single female complainant of inappropriate messages and contact, reported in the Sun, did not relate to any broadcast work, and related to a matter more than 10 years ago.

    The 46-year-old father-of-two continues to present his Sunday morning show on Classic FM.

    The statement said: "Whilst he accepts that his behaviour over a decade ago was occasionally juvenile, as was that of others, he never intended to harass or distress and he strongly denies any inappropriate contact.

    "He is, however, deeply sorry for any upset caused and hopes this matter is resolved soon."

    Mr Jones first found fame at the age of 12 when his re-recording of Walking In The Air, from animated Christmas film The Snowman, reached the top five of the UK charts in 1985.

    The Welsh former choirboy received an MBE in 2013 for his services to music and broadcasting.

    He was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and has also appeared on TV shows including Daybreak, Escape To The Country and Cash In The Attic.
    More surprised the allegation came from a woman tbf

    Hahaha, yeah well when it comes to thinking back after a number of years, the mind plays tricks on you. Sometimes what you remember and what happened can honestly differ. I mean I know for a fact I was an asshole especially when I was younger and did shit that was way out of line.

    So if someone made an accusation, I know I never done anything along the lines of what has come out and others have been accused of, I wasn't ever that bad, but never the less I am sure on some level it could be just me rationing.

    Because it's easier to do that and for the mind to cope, rather than deal with the fact you may or may not be unsure something you did while went unsaid or whatever, might have made someone uncomfortable or even hurt them.

    However I am not going to apologize unless I know why and believe I should.

    So I can understand some doing some soul searching.

    He lost his immortality when his balls dropped.

    Thought the title was a misspelling of Alex Jones. I laughed at the "singer and presenter" description way too hard, but was disappointed when I realized it wasn't a typo.

    After having to endure listening to that bloody song every Christmas, I feel like I’ve been aurally raped by Aled Jones numerous times.

    It's a tabloid, it's in a tabloid's nature to stir shit up, often unfounded... no I'm not making any claims that the accusation is so.

    If it happened before yesterday, I don't give a shit. So tired of this, "I was touched 'inappropriately' on my shoulder by someone 20 years ago" nonsense.

    I fail to see how that would even fall under what I said.

    It was in context with what followed. If someone was actually raped, they've a legitimate claim.
