The One Show host was fired this week by the Corporation's bosses. He also appears to have been removed from agency MC Saatchi's website. Sources at the BBC say he will no longer host its evening show with immediate effect. One told the Mail: 'It all came as a massive shock but his colleagues have now been told the news and he won't be back. They were kept in the dark to start with.
They couldn't believe it when they found out. The ex-Premier League star has yet to address his sacking - and even appeared laughing while hosting TalkSport Drive's live show at 4pm today, just minutes after it emerged he had been sacked from the BBC. Jenas was set to appear on the show again on Friday but Mail Sport understands that will no longer be the case. It's understood the complaints related to his 'workplace conduct' and that the issues were raised with the broadcaster a few weeks ago, and it took action.
The One Show host, pictured with wife Ellie Penfold at Wimbledon this year, has been accused for inappropriate behavior. Jenas also previously hosted the Match of the Day spin-off and he was a regular studio pundit for the Beeb's Euros coverage. He has also been mooted as a replacement for Gary Lineker on Match of the Day amid rumours that he is to leave in the near future.
The former player even covered this summer's Euros in Germany, and acted as a co-commentator on the semi-final between Spain and France on July 9.
As well as playing for England, he also played for Tottenham Hotspur for eight years between and after signing from Newcastle United. Off the pitch, Jenas is married to wife Ellie who he tied the knot with in They have two daughters, Geneva and Olivia, plus baby son Jacob, together while Jenas has an older daughter from a previous relationship who lives in the United States with her mother.
