Presenter sacked by BBC and taken off air at The One Show and Match of the Day

Jermaine Jenas, who presents The One Show and appears on Match of the Day for the BBC, has been sacked by the corporation following complaints about workplace conduct.

The former footballer, 41, has been taken off air from both ********** shows.

A BBC spokesperson said: “We can confirm Jermaine Jenas is no longer part of our presenting line-up.”

It is understood issues were raised with the broadcaster a few weeks ago, and it took action.

He was last on air earlier in the summer.

Jenas made his footballing debut at the age of 17, and played for his boyhood Nottingham Forest, Spurs and Newcastle *******. He went on to play 341 times, as well as making 21 appearances for England.

He retired in 2016 aged 32, although he had not played since 2014.

Jenas turned his attention to media work as a pundit while recovering from a knee injury and became a regular on Match of the Day, as well as BT Sport. He had been presenting The One Show since 2020.

He and a friend set up the Aquinas Foundation to help incentivise and raise the aspirations of young people in schools across Nottingham.

In December 2023 it was announced that he would collect an honorary degree from Nottingham Trent University.
