Jermaine Jenas axed from another TV role after being sacked by BBC over 'inappropriate messages'

Jermaine Jenas has reportedly been dropped from another TV role after he was axed by the BBC earlier in the year.

Back in August, it was reported that the former Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United midfielder was sacked by the BBC after alleged inappropriate messages sent to colleagues.

At the time, Jenas said: "I owe everyone an apology - especially the women with whom I was messaging. I am so, so sorry. I am sorry for what I have put them through.

"I think it would be fair to say I have a problem. I know I self-sabotage and have a self-destructive streak when it comes to my relationship especially, and I know I need help. And I am getting help. Before any of this became public, I saw my private doctor and, after a long discussion, booked in for therapy to try and address these issues, where they stem from, and why I have been doing this and hurting the people I love."

Last month, it was speculated that Jenas was in talks with talkSPORT over a potential return to the radio station.

However, on Friday, it was reported that Jenas had been dropped from the coverage of Formula E, an open-wheel single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars.

The 41-year-old presented TNT Sports' coverage of Formula E last season but will not be retained.

As reported by Auto Sport, a statement from the Formula E management read: "As with every off-season, we undergo a thorough and carefully considered evaluation process of our presenter line-up. Jermaine Jenas will not be part of the team for Season 11."

Formula E correspondent Nicki Shields will now present the show and be joined by experts such as David Coulthard and Karun Chandhok, as well as Billy Monger and Catie Munnings

Formula E will make its return to free-to-air television, with all 16 races set to be shown live on ITVX, with nine races set to be aired on ITV 4.

Aarti Dabas, chief media officer at Formula E, said: “We’re delighted to offer UK and Ireland fans even greater access to our incredible championship via our two fantastic media partners – TNT Sport and now ITV – giving them more ways to watch and taking them even closer to the sport.

“With our new post-race weekend highlights show on ITV, fans will be able to get bespoke content directly from the paddock helping to educate, excite and entertain new and loyal fans alike.”
