On Thursday afternoon the BBC confirmed Jermaine Jenas had been axed from the channel, but the former professional footballer was back on air in a new role just a short time later
Jermaine Jenas has swiftly 'moved on' to TalkSport for a 'new gig', moments after the BBC announced his dismissal. The ex-Premier League star was axed by the BBC on Thursday afternoon, following allegations of his conduct in the workplace, with a BBC spokesperson stating: "We can confirm that he is no longer part of our presenting line up."
Social media was abuzz with surprised listeners upon hearing his voice, as one wrote: "Thought it was a joke, but Jenas is LITERALLY ON AIR with Talksport as this is unfolding!" Jermaine's tenure at the BBC saw him in various roles, from Match of the Day punditry to co-hosting The One Show, last seen with Alex Jones on 22 July. He was also the face of MOTDx, targeting younger viewers, until its cancellation last season and featured in the BBC's coverage of Euro 2024.
