The ex-England and Tottenham midfielder, once a familiar face on the broadcaster's shows, has had his contract abruptly cut short. A BBC spokesperson announced on Thursday: "We can confirm that he [Jenas] is no longer part of our presenting line up.
" Further details have emerged from the BBC , citing Jenas' workplace conduct, including issues with text messages, as the catalyst for his sacking. The complaints about these texts surfaced several weeks prior. Jenas was well-established at the BBC , frequently appearing on Match of the Day and tipped to be Gary Lineker 's heir apparent for the hosting role.
His portfolio also included stints on The One Show and as a prominent figure in the BBC 's team for the Euros in Germany this summer. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
