Jermaine Jenas sacked from BBC MOTD and The One Show ‘after complaint’

As a cinephile with a penchant for sports and an eye for emerging talent, I find myself reflecting upon the recent developments regarding Jermaine Jenas’ departure from BBC’s Match of the Day and The One Show. With a career spanning both the football pitch and the broadcast booth, it was evident that Jenas had the potential to become a shining star in the world of sports media.


According to the BBC’s confirmation, Jermaine Jenas will no longer be featured on the presenting teams for Match of the Day and The One Show, this decision being made after news broke out about his termination from the roles.

Initially, it was reported by The Sun that Jenas was dismissed due to accusations of unsuitable conduct.

Jenas last presented The One Show with Alex Jones on Wednesday 22nd July, and was notably absent from this Saturday’s first episode of the new season of Match of the Day. His last appearance on that show was on 4th May.

Jenas previously excelled as a professional soccer player, representing the English national team alongside various clubs such as Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Queens Park Rangers.

Initially, he kicked off his career in media by serving as an analyst for ITV Sport’s broadcast of the 2014-15 UEFA Europa League. Later, in 2020, he started sharing co-presenting duties on The One Show. By 2021, he had secured a permanent hosting role on the show.

In 2023, he became a member of the team presenting Match of the Day, and moreover, he’s been showcasing coverage for Formula E races as well.

Initially, it was speculated that Jenas might eventually take over from Gary Lineker as Match of the Day host. In fact, Lineker himself stated to The Sun in November 2021, “I believe Jermaine is my likely successor, and I think he’s doing a great job.”
