Aled Jones set to resume presenting career

Aled Jones is set to resume his presenting career at the BBC following an investigation into alleged sexual harassment.
The ‘Songs Of Praise’ host was suspended by the broadcaster in October amid claims of inappropriate behaviour, but Aled is poised to return to presenting the programme and his show on BBC Radio Wales in the near future.
A spokesman for Aled – who first found fame aged 12 with his Christmas hit ‘Walking In The Air’ – said: "About three months ago Aled voluntarily agreed to step away from his presenting commitments whilst the organisation conducted a review.
"Aled was devastated to learn that some of his past behaviour outside the BBC had caused distress to others.
"He deeply regrets this behaviour and is very sorry for the hurt it has caused. Aled has given his assurance that it will never be repeated.
"Aled will now continue with his roles at the BBC. There will be no further comment."
Aled, 47, faced an allegation of inappropriate conduct from a female colleague, who is believed to have complained about messages she received from him a decade ago, according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.
But Aled has since apologised for his behaviour and the BBC are now happy for him to resume his presenting career.
A spokesperson for the broadcaster explained: "As Aled has previously confirmed, over recent weeks the BBC has been considering complaints about his past behaviour. During this period, Aled has not been presenting on the BBC.
"While the behaviour under review was not related to his work with the BBC, Aled recognises it was inappropriate and caused real distress to others. He has apologised for this and assured the BBC that there will be no repeat of this behaviour in future."
