Jones tells ITV News that while working as a researcher, she would watch comedians and think “I can do that! I have it in me to do exactly that!”.
Jones was correct - in just three years she has vaulted from researcher to regular panelist. She has joined seasoned comics on shows like Eight out of Ten Cats and Mock the Week, winning new fans with her brazen takes and bubbly demeanour.
The 30-year-old has also starred on Live at the Apollo, acted in Silent Witness and written for hit Netflix show Sex Education.
Most recently, Jones scooped a comedy award handed out annually by LGBT+ magazine Attitude. She joined the likes of Stephen Fry and Taylor Swift in accepting awards.
