Jermaine Jenas has landed a new TV role following his sacking by the BBC for alleged inappropriate behaviour.

The BBC confirmed in August that the former Tottenham and England midfielder, who presented The One Show and was a pundit on Match of the Day, would no longer be a part of their line-up.

Jenas would later admit to sending 'inappropriate messages' to two BBC colleagues, though stated that they were not sexual and he did 'nothing illegal'.

The Daily Mail later reported further allegations that Jenas sent unsolicited text messages to a colleague during the 2022 World Cup. A source close to him denied that the messages were unsolicited.

Another accused Jenas of sending unsolicited sexual messages while she was working for BT Sport, which Jenas also denied.

Jenas is also contracted to TNT Sports as a football pundit and commentator, while he also presented Formula E ocoverage for the broadcaster last season. He has not been seen working for them since the allegations emerged.

However, the 41-year-old was back on TV for Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday.

The Sun report that Jenas was covering the game at the Emirates Stadium for an unnamed overseas broadcaster, meaning he will not have been seen on British TV stations.

Last month, Jenas took to his Instagram story to provide an update to his followers on his potential return to TV.

He said: "It's clearly been a difficult period for me, but one that I'll definitely grow from.

"You learn from it, become a better person. I think those are the things in life that are most important.

"Hopefully, I'll be back to talking about what I love, really, which is football. I've been watching, but I'm looking forward to getting back to what I love doing most. Thank you, and see you soon."
