BBC scandal: Jermaine Jenas
The scandal surrounding Jermaine Jenas – former Premier League star and BBC presenter – is the most recent scandal to come out.
Jermaine had become a familiar face on shows like Match of the Day and The One Show. However, Jermaine was abruptly dismissed from the BBC amid allegations of ‘inappropriate behaviour’.
Allegations then emerged claiming Jermaine had sent unsolicited text messages to a female member of staff on The One Show.
In a statement, the BBC also confirmed Jermaine’s departure.
This is a categorical nightmare for the BBC.
It stated that he is “no longer part of our presenting line-up”. It also revealed that an inquiry had been launched following the allegations.
The sudden nature of his exit has left many shocked, especially given that Jermaine was once considered a potential successor to Gary Lineker on Match of the Day.
An insider revealed more to The Sun: “This is a categorical nightmare for the BBC. A complaint was raised concerning Jermaine’s behaviour. After some immediate routine enquiries, the decision was taken to take him off air and terminate his contract.
“At present, the feeling is he won’t be back on the BBC.”
