BREAKING NEWS Jermaine Jenas breaks his silence after he was sacked by the BBC over 'unsolicited texts he sent to female member of staff on the One Show' READ MORE: Jermaine Jenas on air minutes after details of sacking emerge By Katherine Lawton and Mike Keegan and Jane Matthews Published: 19:03, 22 August 2024 | Updated: 19:24, 22 August 2024 e-mail 46 shares View comments Jermaine Jenas has hit back after he was sacked by the BBC over allegedly sending unsolicited texts to a female member of staff on the One Show. The TV host, 41, was fired this week, with the BBC confirming that Jenas is 'no longer part of our presenting line-up'. The female member of staff claimed she received unsolicited communications via text from Jenas, The Sun reported.

Breaking his silence over the claims, a spokesperson for 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.' According to the BBC, the ex-Premier League footballer's 'contract was terminated earlier this week, because of alleged issues relating to workplace behaviour'.

The corporation added: 'It followed allegations involving digital communications such as texts, which were raised with the corporation a few weeks ago.' Sources at the BBC say Jenas will no longer host its evening show with immediate effect. He also appears to have been removed from agency MC Saatchi's website.
