messages to a female colleague.

Jenas told the paper the texts were a “huge error of judgement” for which he was “deeply sorry”, adding that he is “not a **** pest”.

He said he “did nothing ********” and described the exchanges as “inappropriate messages between two consenting adults”.

Jenas, who is married with four children, told the paper he is receiving therapy and accepted he “fell below [the] standards” of the BBC.

He continued: “I feel so ashamed. I’ve let everybody down – my colleagues, my friends and, most importantly, I’ve let my family down.”

The former footballer was sacked by the BBC following allegations involving unsolicited digital communications including texts to a member of a production team.

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

The issue was brought to the BBC’s attention a few weeks ago. The corporation announced his departure on Thursday, but didn’t give further details of the allegations.

The BBC has not commented since Jenas spoke to the Sun.
