Exactly!! Alex Jones is right up there, along with Christine Bleakley, as one of the worst presenters ever. She's awful. And that's being generous.
You are indeed, more than generous.
That woman has the most irritating, grating voice on TV. Nails scraping on a blackboard are positively melodious compared with her speaking.
If, inadvertently, we have not changed channels before she starts wittering pointlessly there is a mad rush to grab the remote and switch to anything, just anything else.
Why is it that the One Show seems to have cornered the market in such irritating presenters. When the potato Chiles was on it was bad enough but now ...
Pity because there are sometimes potentially interesting guests, although it is impossible to enjoy them with the incessant bleating from the main presenter.
Who on earth thought an apology was required? Was the duty officers phone glowing? Was twitter aghast? Or have the BBC reaches such a nadir that they now feel the need to pre-empt any possible upset no matter how manufactured by which ever idiot or the Daily Mail
In a cynical mood today. I'd say the BBC have issued this apology to create a scandal that didn't exist in the first place to gather column inches (in the newspaper sense) because they know that somewhere in all the outrage the articles will contain the valuable phrase "Rita, 24, is a judge on The Voice - which starts this Saturday on BBC One"
I certainly wouldn't complain but I did think that the outfit was inappropriate for a programme going out at 7pm. Plus I thought it made her look cheap and tacky

Why did she look cheap and tacky? It's only cleavage.

It seems to have 'we must have a regional accent presenting' directive.
Blimey, has Mary Whitehouse been reincarnated? Pathetic to complain and equally pathetic to issue an apology. This is 2015, not 1915.
For the issuing of an unwarranted apology, blame the rabid complainers egged on by sections of the media and some MPs (who should really have more important things to think about). For it is they who have created this situation.

However, the apology came after the complaints, no complaints = no apology.
So, in a cynical frame of mind, it is those who complained who have created the publicity.

Like most celebs of today she seems void of any personality and charm. For me that would warrant more of a complaint.
Agreed. I didn't think she did anything wrong either

And to think it's going to get much worse with a certain show starting tonight on Channel 5

I think Alex Jones has a very nice voice, Welsh voices are always good to listen to.
When Alex Jones is away, the replacement presenter is always far better than Jones.. so what do the BBC do.. they keeps Jones.
Woman wears clothes. Woman has breasts. Hold the front page. Have either of these things ever happened before?
I have a number of Welsh friends and their voices are pleasant and easy to listen to and could even charm the birds from the trees.
She, on the other hand, in addition to being singularly untalented, is grating and irritating, and could act as a very efficient bird scarer!
Even my Welsh friends agree on that point.
I wonder how many of the complaints were from less attractive, jealous women?
It seems to have 'we must have a regional accent presenting' directive.
Well that helps doesn't it, how about it doesn't matter... it's only a bit of skin? You silly sausage!
Nothing wrong with regional accents, we all have them in one form or another.
The problem is when a 'regional accent' is combined with a lack of talent or charisma.
Defo. Bring it on, i say! haha

p.s. I really can't see why people have all this hate for Alex Jones. What exactly is it that she's done wrong?
395 of them work for the Daily Mail
The BBC says the guests choose their clothes .So the 400 should complain to Rita.
