Personal life
Jones revealed on Twitter that his real name is Terence "Terry" Jones. He had to change it to avoid confusion with Terry Jones, a member of Monty Python.
In December 2015, Jones assisted Oxfam campaigners in raising money for their appeal to support Syrian refugees, by singing carols at a shopping centre in Islington. He appeared alongside Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party and later voiced his support for Corbyn in a post on Instagram.[7][8]
