Match of the Day presenter Jermaine Jenas sacked by BBC after ‘complaints about behaviour’

Jermaine Jenas has been sacked by the BBC following complaints of ‘inappropriate behaviour’. The One Show presenter, 41, who had been tipped to one day replace Gary Lineker as host of MOTD, has been dropped from presenting the flagship football programme after an investigation into alleged complaints about his behaviour. It is understood his contract was terminated after alleged issues involving digital communications such as texts were raised with the corporation a few weeks ago. Jenas, who was paid nearly £200,000 according to the BBC’s most recent annual reports, has hosted a number of primetime programmes for the corporation including The One Show and the 2024 Euros.
