Former footballer Jermaine Jenas has been sacked by the BBC.
The broadcaster has confirmed he is “no longer part” of The One Show’s “presenting line-up”.
It’s also understood he has been dropped from his punditry duties on football highlights programme Match Of The Day.
Jenas, 41, has been dropped after an internal investigation by the BBC into alleged complaints about his behaviour, according to reports in The Sun.
In an email to employees, the BBC said: “I wanted to let you know that Jermaine Jenas is no longer working for the BBC.”
As news of the sacking broke, Jenas was presenting a drive time programme on talkSPORT radio with fellow former footballer Jermaine Pennant.
During his career on the pitch, he played for Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers.

Jenas also made 21 appearances for England, scoring one goal.
The midfielder moved into punditry and presenting on the BBC and BT Sport after retiring from professional football in 2016.
The father-of-four joined The One Show in 2020 as a stand-in co-host following the departure of Matt Baker, and he was made a permanent fixture the following year.
