His contract has been terminated.
Jermaine Jenas has been sacked by the BBC over allegations of ‘inappropriate behaviour’.
Jenas had been working for the broadcaster as a pundit and presenter for Match of the Day, as well as hosting The One Show.
A BBC spokesperson confirmed the news saying: “We can confirm that he is no longer part of our presenting line up.”
Previously he fronted the MOTDx show aimed at younger audiences which was scrapped last season.
The former England international, who enjoyed spells with Tottenham and Newcastle, moved into punditry in 2016 after he retired due to injury.
Jenas last presented The One Show alongside Alex Jones on 22 July and appeared on the MOTD panel on 4 May.
He worked for the BBC throughout the Euros, acting as co-commentator for Spain’s semi-final victory over France.
Jenas is yet to comment on the matter.
