BBC Presenter Sacked 

Jermaine Jenas

Former footballer Jermaine Jenas has been sacked by the BBC while live on air at talkSPORT. 

The broadcaster has confirmed he is "no longer part" of The One Show's "presenting line-up". 

Jenas, 41, has also been dropped from his punditry and presenting duties on football highlights programme Match Of The Day, Match of the Day 2 and Radio 5 Live. 

BBC News reported that his contract was terminated earlier this week due to alleged issues relating to workplace behaviour. It also reported the termination followed allegations involving digital communications, such as texts, which were raised with the corporation a few weeks ago. 

In an email to employees, the BBC said: "I wanted to let you know that Jermaine Jenas is no longer working for the BBC." 

The news of Jenas's sacking broke as he started presenting a three-hour drive-time programme on talkSPORT radio with fellow former footballer Jermaine Pennant. 

It is understood Jenas last presented The One Show in mid-July, and last appeared on Match of the Day in May. 

Jenas, who earned between £190,000 and £194,999 at the BBC for his work on the FA Cup, Match of the Day and the World Cup in 2022/23, also works for TNT Sports.
