Jermaine Jenas has been sacked by the BBC.

This follows ‘complaints about workplace conduct.’

An official BBC News report (see below) revealing the news.

Jermaine Jenas had been talked about as a potential eventual successor to Gary Lineker as the Match of The Day presenter, however, fair to say that won’t be happening now.

BBC News report – 22 August 2024:

‘Jermaine Jenas, who presented The One Show and appeared 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 primetime shows.

BBC News understands his contract was terminated earlier this week, because of alleged issues relating to workplace behaviour.

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.

Jenas earned £190,000 – £194,999 at the BBC for his work on the FA Cup, Match of the Day and the World Cup.

His work on The One Show was for BBC Studios, the BBC’s commercial production company, so his salary is not in the public domain.

He also works for talkSport.

Jenas is also employed by TNT Sports, a group of pay television sports channels. They told the BBC they were not making any comment.
