Former footballer and BBC presenter Jermaine Jenas has been dismissed from his roles due to inappropriate behaviour. The news came as a surprise after he began hosting a new drive-time programme on talkSPORT radio. Jenas, known for his work on The One Show and Match of the Day, is no longer with the BBC.
BBC 's Jermaine Jenas has been dramatically dismissed due to inappropriate behaviour, with his wife Ellie Penfold reportedly "standing by him" amidst the scandal. The news broke as he began hosting a three-hour drive-time programme on talkSPORT radio alongside fellow ex-footballer Jermaine Pennant last month.
Off-screen, Jenas resides with his wife Ellie Penfold, whom he married in 2011, and their three children in a £1million Hertfordshire home. It's understood that Ellie is supporting her husband through this difficult time. Jermaine Jenas has opened up about the dynamics of his relationship, admitting that it involved a great deal of competition at times, especially when balancing family life with his burgeoning career. "There was a lot of competing going on in our relationship and a lot of 'you get to do this' or 'you don't do this. It was a lot to do with the kids and the fact that I had this new career starting and I was out and about and meeting new people and going to shows...
Jenas consistently commends his partner on social media platforms, evidenced by a touching tribute earlier in the year for her birthday. Posting a photo of his spouse enjoying some holiday relaxation, he captioned it: "Happy birthday Mrs J, I love you more than you could ever imagine. You deserve the world."
