Jermaine Jenas axed from another TV role after ex-football star was sacked from £190,000 job by the BBC for 'inappropriate behaviour'

Jermaine Jenas has been axed as the presenter of Formula E, months after the former footballer was sacked by the BBC.

Jenas was abruptly sacked in August by the BBC from his £190,000 on The One Show job for sending ‘inappropriate messages’ to two female colleagues.

He later admitted to the messages and said they left him feeling ashamed and fighting to save his 13-year marriage to Ellie Penfold.

Jenas was axed from The One Show and Match of The Day. He was also met with similar allegations from other women in the weeks that followed, which he later denied.

The 41-year-old has now been replaced as the host of Formula E, after the series agreed a new television deal in the UK and Ireland.

Jenas had presented coverage on TNT Sports, but has been replaced as host after a deal was agreed for ITV to broadcast the season.

‘We’re excited to confirm that Nicki Shields is our lead presenter for Season 11,’ a Formula E spokesperson told the Sun.

‘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.’
