View Full Version : Jermaine Jenas ‘sacked by BBC’ over inappropriate conduct
Another one ......
Jermaine Jenas has been fired by the BBC after claims of ‘inappropriate behaviour’, it has been reported.
The 41-year-old – who is the face of Match of the Day and The One Show – has reportedly been taken off air and sacked by the BBC after complaints were made.
Former England football player Jenas joined The One Show in 2020 where he began co-presenting with Alex Jones and he became a permanent fixture a year later.
After retiring from football in 2016 – after stints at Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur – Jenas began working as a Match of the Day pundit, and was hotly tipped to be Gary Lineker’s future replacement.
But it appears all this has changed, as a source claimed to The Sun: ‘This is a categorical nightmare for the BBC.
‘A complaint was raised concerning Jermaine’s behaviour.

I did get sent his dick pics last year so he's definitely another horny bastard.
no-one seems to be saying what the inappropriate conduct was
They should be telling us considering we pay his over inflated wages
Sounds like a sexting thing
He was presenting live on talksport as this broke so they're obviously not too bothered lol
Sacking him immediately without a suspension a bit odd though

It followed allegations involving
digital communications such as texts,
which were raised with the corporation a
few weeks ago.
A BBC spokesperson said:
"We can confirm Jermaine Jenas
is no longer part of our presenting line-up."
He was last on air earlier in the summer.]

For Sherriff
When asked about reports that he sent unsolicited texts to a female member of staff at The One Show, he replied: “Like I said, I’m not happy about this situation.
“You know, I’m going to be speaking to my lawyers about it is all I can say right now.”
Jenas declined to elaborate about what the complaint about him related to, whether it concerned more than one colleague, if he was surprised a complaint was made against him, when he was first aware that a complaint had been made and when the BBC told him he was being sacked.
.
They're only known in the UK though.
jenas was a second tier english footballer, i had never heard of him until he went on a football show. Hardly a person of the same status as Hew who announced the death of the queen to the world. I really don't know what planet you are on :laugh:

Jermaine Jenas played for the England National team a few times, and played Europa League Football with Tottenham.
That will be more well known to Europe than Hew Edwards.
And that's taking away the despicable behaviour from Edwards, that I doubt Jenas has done.

Jenas was an England international and if it wasnt for Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham etc would have played more for England.
As BBC employee I think he's on over 250k a year. He's not in the class of a Huw Edwards but a big enough personality for them to have backed him a bit more than they did.
Jenas, who is married with four children, told the paper he is receiving therapy and accepted he "fell below [the] standards" of the BBC.
How does the therapy work .... don't take pictures of your knob and send them to young women, isn't a long therapy session

The whole thing about the BBC salaries is a bit disingenuous IMO. Without doubt the biggest earner on the BBC payroll is Graham Norton but he gets most of his money from his show that is co-produced by his company and the BBC. The likes of Lineker also has his own production company that does "The rest is" series of pdocast so I think there are other who BBC salary is only a fraction of their income

I thought I'd never seen him before - certainly don't know the name.
BUT, I do remember seeing him on TV at a friend's house. The friend had on the One Show. I do remember now, and my immediate thought was this presenter Jenas isn't a professional broadcaster. I could see that. Too amateurish. My first thought he must be a boy band member giving this presenter job. Turns out he's an ex footballer.
He's obviously been promoted way beyond his capabilities. The guy is a clown. He's probably too arrogant to realise he was given a golden opportunity and he blew it. Just like Edwards.

Sounds like he was sexting / making unwanted advances......as a married man , Edwards was a full blown predator & had images of child porn so not really the same.
Obviously if Jermaine was harassing and being inappropriate ( which sounds like he was) then obviously he has to be held accountable...and it explains why he was sacked.
…I’m only vaguely familiar with him but I really feel for his wife …it’s a difficult enough thing to discover but then to have to try to process it all with the full glare of media attention, awful for her and his family…

Because I just associate the word "unsolicited" with the victim of a situation not consenting to whatever misdeed has befallen them in that moment.
Is it being reported as unsolicited? I thought it was just being called 'inappropriate'

Well Edwards was a full on predator ...who even collected child images, so he's far worse imo .
By sounds of it Jermaine was harassing / or trying to start affairs with his co presenters..... people are spreading rumours of him sending nudes,but do we even know that ?.
He was married and was being a pest by sounds of it,so yeah inappropriate and him being sacked reveals it was probably not reciprocated,but we haven't seen the texts either ... I wonder if we'll ever find out what he actually said/ did .
The media was quick to show us some of Edward's texts , I wonder why Jermaine's are missing.

Yes it was in the Sun, pics further up the thread GH
He'll definitely end up with a decent gig on talksport I think
Shocking my arse. Me me me, it’s all about me.
He really needs to grow up and take responsibility for his actions.
Perhaps the two women didn’t want him to apologise to them in person.
The BBC are doing their best for the 2 ladies.
My thoughts exactly when I saw that guff on the newspaper stand this morning. Poor me, poor me..
Ah **** up ya dirty pervy bastard. Nobody wants to know him.
Jermaine Jenas is to be given a career lifeline by TNT Sports after his sacking by the BBC.
The former England international was sacked from Match of the Day and The One Show last week for sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues, but TNT has not banished him from its roster and he is expected to return to TV screens later this season.
TNT declined to comment on Jenas’s employment status after his sudden dismissal by the BBC. Contrary to some reports, Jenas was not stood down from commentary duty at Brighton’s Premier League win over Manchester United on Aug 24. He had not been scheduled to appear.
While Jenas has not been booked by TNT for the next few weeks, he has not been exiled. Some sources at TNT told Telegraph Sport that they expect him back after next month’s international break, but a return date has yet to be formally discussed.
TNT executives are expected to address the matter during the Premier League break next month. Any further revelations of inappropriate behaviour by Jenas at the BBC would alter their stance.
Jenas is employed as a freelancer by TNT, which calls him up on an occasional basis alongside other pundits and co-commentators.
In addition to commentary work, the 41-year-old also presents TNT’s E Sport programming.

this sounds like a journo just making things up tbh
he is a freelancer on TNT that doesn't appear on a regular basis. He was a fixture on the one show, so it's not comparing like with like. They can easily test which way the wind is blowing before making a decision on if he will return or not

He wont be back. He's not talented enough. What an idiot to throw away jobs he was never qualified to have.

when your husband is shown to be a creep to the entire world, it's a bit difficult to get over i would imagine

My son reminded me that he was being lined up to be Gary Linekars replacement on MOTD when he steps down, what a complete idiot he has been
