Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Jermaine revealed: "It is an absolute pleasure to present The One Show."

Of his co-star, Welsh presenter Alex Jones, he said: "It’s weird, we’re in that stage where I understand the building of the relationship with your presenter and how important that is.

"I think is the beauty of what I have with Alex, we naturally just kind of get on.

"We find similar things funny and it’s not even like we like the same things, we probably like opposite music, opposite tastes in a lot of things, but the connection is just there, and we just get each other and know each other."

He added: "I know when she’s having an off day, and she knows when I’ve got an off day, and so on and so forth.

"I think that’s what the partnership is about."

Back in 2020, Jermaine was given the opportunity to be a cover co-presenter alongside Alex, before going on to becoming one of its permanent hosts in 2021.

He said: "The One Show has been amazing for me and my development and I’m very lucky to have them and to have got the job.

"I really love it and hopefully it continues as it’s so much fun."

Jermaine spoke to The Sun Online as part of the Everyones Turf campaign with Great British Racing.

He explained: "My involvement in the campaign is to shed some light on the fact that the occasion of going to the races is more than I think people would assume it's about, just open people's eyes to the fact that it's a family event that you can go to.

"There's lovely restaurants, there’s enjoyable things to do.

"Apart from just watching racing, there are a lot of other things that you can take your kids to do and watch."
