Jermaine Jenas ' wife Ellie Jenas is reportedly standing by the former professional footballer after claims that "multiple women" have come forward over his alleged "inappropriate behaviour." The former model was allegedly told about the claims by her husband after he was sensationally axed from his role at the BBC earlier this week. Jenas, 41, has said he is "deeply unhappy" about the allegations against him after "rumours" of his alleged inappropriate messages spread amongst his colleagues.

While many have been unclear over just what happened to trigger his shock dismissal , varying reports since the announcement have seen several sources clarify the situation. Jenas became the subject of a complaint from a female colleague on The one Show over the "innapropriate" messages last month with bosses at the BBC determined to make a swift decision over the claims. A source told The Mirror : “It’s a very sensitive landscape at the BBC at the moment with the various scandals that have beset it of late.

Any hint of workplace misconduct and they needed to come down on like a ton of bricks.” Jenas responded to the claims yesterday stating he "was not happy" and there are "two sides to every story." However, it appears that after the first woman complained about the unsolicited messages, other female employees also came forward, according to reports.

It is unclear about the content of the messages, but sources have stated that Jenas has not done anything "illegal." Staff on The O.
