Gethin Jones began his TV career as a presenter on the Welsh channel S4C, appearing in several popular children's shows.

But his major presenting break came in 2005, when he joined the Blue Peter team.

Jones starred alongside Irish presenter Zöe Salmon, before leaving the children's programme after three and half a years. In 2020, he appeared as a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef, but sadly had to quit due to displaying COVID-19 symptoms during filming. He was fine, though!

   In September 2020, Gethin surprised fans by suddenly appearing to announce that he had got married to an unknown person.

   Sharing a picture of his gold ring - from Welsh jewellery brand Clogau - the 42-year-old presenter said: "It's been a big day."

   However, he later confirmed that it wasn't real, and that he is still very much single. You tease, Gethin!

   

   He previously famously dated Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins. The pair got together in 2007 and got engaged three years later.

   They split, however, in December 2011. Katherine is now married to American painter Andrew Levitas.

   His last public relationship was with underwear model Katja Zwara. They got together in 2017, but split a year later.
