Former footballer Jermaine Jenas, who formerly co-hosted The One Show and Match Of The Day, has been sacked from the BBC following complaints about workplace conduct.
The ex-Premier League player, 41, has been removed from the presenting line-ups of both shows and had his contract terminated after issues were raised involving digital communications, such as texts, in recent weeks, BBC News reported.
A BBC spokesperson told PA news agency: “We can confirm that he is no longer part of our presenting line-up.”
Jenas began presenting a TalkSport drive time show with Jermaine Pennant moments after the news broke.
The father-of-four joined The One Show in 2020 as a stand-in co-host following the departure of Matt Baker, and he was made a permanent fixture the following year.
He has been a regular pundit on sports programme Match Of The Day and Match Of The Day 2 and a presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live.
During his football career, he appeared for the England national team and played for Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers.
Jenas also hosts Formula E race coverage for TNT Sports.
His agency MC Saatchi also no longer represents him and his profile on the site now displays a “page not found” notice.
