BBC star swipes at Alex Jones as she's replaced on The One Show in hosting shake-up | The Sun
NICK Grimshaw couldn't resist a joking swipe at The One Show star Alex Jones after she was replaced on the BBC evening show.
Former BBC Radio 1 star Nick was appearing on the magazine programme to chat about his latest venture, a new podcast entitled Dish.
In a show mix-up, regular host Alex Jones was axed from the programme in favour of Emma Willis and Alex Scott.
Alex's co-hosts Ronan Keating and Jermaine Jenas were also missing, owing to the Easter holidays.
The timing of Alex's absence was unfortunate as Nick was around on the BBC One show to discuss Alex's guest appearance on his podcast which led to him referring to Alex as a "nutter" behind the scenes.
Before making the savage comment, a clip from Alex's episode was broadcast with chef Angela Hartnett also present to discuss everything from food to lifestyle.

In a rather unfortunate moment, Alex made an epic blunder where she appeared to not know what the ingredient baking powder was or what it did.
Alex asked Nick and Angela: "What's the powder that makes it rise?"
Angela shot back: "Baking powder."
Amid a flurry of laughter, the chef added: "The clue is in the name."

Upon cutting back to the studio, Nick made a swipe at Alex and her behaviour and admitted she was worlds away from how she comes across on screen.
Nick said: "She was so funny. Like when I watch The One Show I'm like 'Alex Jones is so together' and she's a nutter, isn't she? In real life."
The One Show airs weeknights at 7pm on BBC One and the Dish podcast is available now.
