Jermaine Jenas has been axed by the BBC following allegations about his conduct in the workplace, as it's reported that communications including texts were raised with the corporation
Jermaine Jenas has been axed by the BBC amid workplace conduct allegations. A spokesperson for the broadcaster announced, "We can confirm that he is no longer part of our presenting line up." Known as a familiar face on Match of the Day and pegged as a possible Gary Lineker successor, Jermaine has also featured on The One Show, becoming a permanent fixture in 2021. However, he's now stepped down from both roles.
Through a spokesperson, Jermaine said: "Right now I can’t talk about it. I can tell you I’m not happy - there are two sides to every story - and I’m going to be speaking with my lawyers on the issue", reports the Mirror. The former footballer, who was on the BBC's payroll earning between £190,000 and £194,999 according to last year's figures, also lends his expertise to TNT Sports for their football and Formula E coverage.
