TV Presenter Steve Jones was recently confirmed as the host of THE X FACTOR USA. Considered by many as the biggest job in TV, Steve fought off tough competition from his contemporaries in the UK and US.
The show can currently be seen on Fox in America and ITV2 in the UK. Steve hosts alongside judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, LA Reid and Nicole Sherzinger.
Steve is best known in the UK for presenting T4 alongside Miquita Oliver and Rick Edwards. Other TV credits include;
101 WAYS TO LEAVE A GAMESHOW for the BBC, AS SEEN ON TV, TRANSMISSION (his late night music show with Lauren Laverne) and WHEN WOMEN RULE THE WORLD.
He presented 'LETS DANCE...FOR SPORT RELIEF' alongside Claudia Winkleman. This saw celebrities pay homage to iconic dance routines in a bid to wow audiences with their moves. The series ran for 4 weeks and was a huge success for the BBC, raising millions in the process.
A former model, Steve travelled the world working for high profile labels such as Versace, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Adidas, and Coca Cola amongst others.
His first presenting job was for THE POP FACTORY AWARDS and it was soon after that Steve decided to focus on presenting. His natural charm and enthusiasm was seen on C5’s 99 THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE and C4’s CARLING LIVE 24 which launched him into mainstream TV. It was only a matter of time before the industry noticed, and he soon joined the T4 strand for C4, becoming an instant hit with viewers. Steve was with T4 for over five years and has covered fantastic music and film specials as well as the annual T4 On the Beach festival. He has flown to LA to interview Will Smith and got an unprecedented 40 minutes with the Hollywood Star (a world first) and has also been to Austria where he filmed a James Bond movie special.
Steve's also enjoyed cameo roles in two feature films by director GURINDER CHADHA.
Steve is currently based in LA.
