Gethin Clifford Jones (born 12 February 1978) is a Welsh television presenter. An active rugby union player while at Manchester Metropolitan University and, for a time, after graduation, Jones began his television career on Welsh language channel S4C as a presenter of children's programmes such as Popty, Mas Draw and the flagship children's entertainment show Uned 5 (Unit 5, 2002–05).
In 2005, he became the 31st presenter of BBC children's programme Blue Peter.
Early life and education
Jones was born on 12 February 1978 in Cardiff, the son of Sylvia (née Groskop), a violin teacher, and Goronwy Jones, headteacher of Baden Powell Primary School. He has an older sister, Mererid.[1] One of his maternal great-grandfathers was a Polish Jewish immigrant.[2][3] With Welsh as his first language, he attended Ysgol Gynradd Coed-y-Gof and Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf (in Llandaff North, Cardiff) for his primary and secondary school education, respectively. Jones has Grade 8 violin and Grade 6 piano qualifications,[4] and took part in school musicals and school and county orchestras. He took Biology, Geography and Economics at A-Levels.[5][6][7]
Jones had dual interests throughout school. His mother wanted him to develop his musical talents, while he enjoyed rugby union. While studying Economics and Geography at Manchester Metropolitan University where he gained a 2:2,[4][6] he was captain of the university's rugby first team and played in the Lancashire under-21 team. At the age of 21 in his final year, Jones was offered trials by Sale RFC.[6] However, after his father turned down a request for financial assistance and he experienced difficulties trying to play whilst supporting himself as a gym trainer, Jones found that his on-field capabilities suffered. He eventually set aside his plans for a professional rugby career and returned to Wales.[5]
Professional career
Prior to his television career, Jones worked as a bank clerk, a telephone hotline officer and as a research assistant and spent three months as a builder laying house foundations.[4] He subsequently joined Welsh channel S4C as a presenter of children's programmes such as Popty (the Welsh equivalent of Top of the Pops),[8] Mas Draw, and the flagship children's entertainment show Uned 5 (2002–05).[9] In 2004, as part of a challenge on the show, he learned how to fly a plane and gained his pilot's licence.[4]
In 2003, Jones was voted Bachelor of the Year by the readers of Company magazine.[5][10]
Blue Peter
On 26 April 2005, Jones became a presenter[11] of the children's television series, Blue Peter.[8][10] He auditioned on the same day as co-presenter Zöe Salmon. During his time, Jones presented the show with Salmon, Konnie Huq, Matt Baker, Liz Barker and Andy Akinwolere. As a presenter, he took on the action/adventure role filled by John Noakes and Peter Duncan in the past; highlights included flying with the Red Arrows[8] and in a World War II Supermarine Spitfire, completing submarine escape training with the Royal Navy,[12] surviving the Bolivian jungle,[13] being attacked by an alligator in Louisiana.[14] learning to race like a jockey,[13] and fighting as a samurai warrior in Japan.[14]
In 2006, Jones became the second civilian to finish the Royal Marine Commando 30-mile (48 km) Yomp[12] – he finished in a time of eight hours and 20 minutes.[15] He also played the violin at the Proms with the BBC Philharmonic.[13]
On 12 February 2008, on his 30th birthday, Jones and his Blue Peter co-presenters climbed the four highest peaks in the United Kingdom, starting with Slieve Donard in Northern Ireland, followed by Snowdon in North Wales. The following day, having travelled overnight by coach to the Lake District, they climbed Scafell Pike. They were then to be transported to Scotland by helicopter to climb Ben Nevis, but were unable to do so because of problems with the helicopter, forcing them to land in Oban. They succeeded in climbing the mountain the next day. This challenge was in aid of Sport Relief 2008.[16]
Jones announced on 8 April 2008 on Blue Peter that after three and half years with the show, he would be leaving at the end of the current series in June. His spokeswoman said he had always planned to leave when he turned 30. Jones said, "I've had a career on Blue Peter that you wouldn't even dream about and for that I feel privileged and fortunate. ... I've loved it, lived it ... and now I feel the time is right to leave it."[13][17] As well as this, he also got thrown into a gunge bath with co presenter Zoe Salmon, he got covered in gunged and the blue peter presenters also tickled his feet

Personal life
In December 2007, Jones became romantically involved with mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins.[47] They first met in 2005[1] when she appeared on Blue Peter and he was struck by how good she was with kids: "You kind of think people like that are all going to be false, but she really wasn't at all, and I like that. She really is lovely, a typical Neath girl."[5] It was reported they met after Jenkins sang "Time to Say Goodbye" with Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli on an episode of Strictly Come Dancing, broadcast on 21 October 2007.[48] Jenkins's spokesman has said: "They're old friends and they've been on several dates. But people shouldn't consider buying hats just yet."[49]
In February 2011, Jones and Jenkins became engaged.[50] However, on 30 December 2011, they both announced that they were going their separate ways.
Jones is a keen footballer (he supports Everton FC, and hosted on a 2009 DVD entitled 'My Everton'), tennis player and golfer.[4] He is short-sighted and wore contact lenses or glasses,[6] until he underwent a laser procedure to correct his shortsightedness on 17 June 2009.
