Presenter Jermaine Jenas has been sacked from Match of the Day and The One Show following claims of 'inappropriate behaviour' - but have these further tarnished the BBC’s reputation? The former footballer had his contract terminated after the BBC allegedly received a complaint about unsolicited text messages sent by Jenas last month. The claims were made by a female member of staff on The One Show, and other female employees have since come forward with their allegations. In a statement to Mirror Online, a BBC spokesperson said: "We can confirm that he is no longer part of our presenting lineup.
" Meanwhile, in a statement shared by a spokesperson to The Sun , Jenas said: " Right now I can't talk about it. I can tell you I'm not happy - there are two sides to every story - and I’m going to be speaking with my lawyers on the issue." Another source told the paper: "The BBC knows it cannot now ignore concerns or complaints so after immediate routine enquiries the decision was taken to take him off air, and terminate his contract.
They acted swiftly and decisively." They pointed out that Jenas conduct is "absolutely nothing" like former BBC News presenter Huw Edwards and that there is "no suggestion of illegality". Speaking to the Mirror, a source highlighted the "sensitive landscape" at the BBC following the various scandals in recent months.
They added: "Any hint of workplace misconduct and they needed to come down on like a ton of bricks." It comes after former BBC News hos.
