Jermaine Jenas has been sacked by the BBC in a move that ends his time as a presenter on Match of the Day and The One Show.

The former England and Tottenham midfielder has been axed amid reports he was the subject of complaints over “inappropriate behaviour”.

“We can confirm that he is no longer part of our presenting line-up,” a BBC spokesperson said.

It has also been claimed that Jenas has been dropped by agent MC Saatchi with his page no longer available on the company’s website.

In a bizarre twist, the 41-year-old was a surprise presenter on talkSPORT’s ‘Drive’ programme alongside Jermaine Pennant on Thursday afternoon as news of his departure from the BBC broke.
