JERMAINE Jenas has hired a team of lawyers to assess the BBC's handling of his sacking, and whether confidential information was leaked. Jenas is looking to sue the broadcaster and last night confirmed a legal letter has already been sent to execs by his newly-hired representatives. The ex-footballer, who says his anxiety has rocketed, is concerned senior staff in different departments within the BBC — including sport and entertainment — appeared to be openly discussing his dismissal when it should have been kept confidential.
Jenas is also concerned private information was leaked relating to him and the two women. He said: “That is something that my lawyers are going to be looking at, and that they themselves — the BBC — need to look into as well for everybody’s protection going forwards. “But my head is frazzled.
I am focused purely on my family and keeping my kids protected, and so it’s in the hands of my lawyers.” Dad-of-four Jenas hit out that he was being made "the fall guy" following recent BBC scandals. He defiantly said: “I think everyone has seen what’s been going on at the BBC recently with Huw Edwards and Strictly.
“I just don’t think I should be the one to be the fall guy. I think it sums up where they are at right now. “I think they clearly don’t know what to do, by the looks of it, because, like I said, how the situation was handled didn’t feel great.
