TV host Jermaine Jenas, 41, was fired this week, with the BBC confirming that Jenas is 'no longer part of our presenting line-up'.
Jermaine Jenas has insisted there are 'two sides to every story' during an awkward Talk Sport interview after he was sacked from the BBC for inappropriate behaviour.
The Talk Sport interviewer said: 'Can I just add, Jermaine, I can see that you are absolutely fuming,' to which Jenas replied 'yeah'.When the interviewer responded with 'yeah we are still recording', Jenas demanded: 'Turn it off.'

The fired presenter was later seen on the phone as he was driven away from Talk Sport this evening in a black car. The corporation added: 'It followed allegations involving digital communications such as texts, which were raised with the corporation a few weeks ago.' 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.
The married father of four last presented The One Show alongside Welsh co-host Alex Jones on July 22, interviewing popstar Will Young, and appeared on the Match of The Day panel on May 4. 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.
