After more than half a decade being in a different country every other weekend, Welsh TV presenter, Steve Jones is back on UK soil making TV programmes and he couldn't be happier. Not that the Rhondda-born frontman of Channel 4's Formula 1 coverage is at all ungrateful, but he's just... a bit knackered.
"It's the first year that I'm not doing all of them," said Steve, who is speaking to WalesOnline after a round of interviews, including an appearance on This Morning, adding that when he was approached about doing the F1 job back in 2016 it was a surprise as he'd never seen himself as a sports presenter. "It's phenomenal I absolutely love it and I sensed there was an opportunity to do something different.
"[But] I'll be completely honest. Last year kind of broke me. It was my sixth season in Formula One doing every single race," he confessed, adding that it was hard to be away from home so frequently as wife Phylicia couldn't come due to Covid protocols and, the jet lag was just overwhelming.
