A telling detail has been spotted on Jermaine Jenas' Instagram profile following his sacking by the BBC.

The BBC confirmed on Thursday (August 22) that the organisation has terminated the contract of Jenas following allegations of 'inappropriate behaviour'.

The former Premier League footballer, 41, was the host of BBC One's The One Show and a regular pundit on Match of the Day.

Jenas was widely touted to be the long-term successor of Gary Lineker as the host of the iconic Premier League highlights programme.

A BBC spokesperson said: "We can confirm Jermaine Jenas is no longer part of our presenting line up."

Alex Kay-Jelski, who is the broadcaster's Director of Sport, sent a short email to BBC staff at 3.39pm on Thursday. He wrote: "Hi all, I wanted to let you know that Jermaine Jenas is no longer working for the BBC."

The news of the BBC's decision to sack Jenas broke just 20 minutes before he presented a one-off drive-time show on talkSPORT with fellow former Premier League star Jermaine Pennant.

After the show, the station conducted an extraordinary interview with Jenas about his dismissal in which he said "I can't talk about that" several times.

He also said: "As you can probably see, [I] am not happy about it. But currently as it stands I'm going to have to let the lawyers deal with it.

"You know, there's two sides to every story as we know. So that's all I can say right now."

Despite being sacked by the BBC, Jenas has not removed 'The One Show' or 'BBC Sport' from his Instagram bio.

Jenas regularly provides punditry on Premier League games for TNT Sports and is the host of the broadcaster's Formula E coverage. His future with the broadcaster is unclear.

He last appeared on TNT Sports on Saturday, August 17, during coverage of Liverpool's 2-0 win against Ipswich Town.
