Sacked BBC Presenter Jermaine Jenas Admits to Unethical Behaviour

Former Footballer and media personality, Jermaine Jenas admits to sending "inappropriate messages" to women after being fired by the BBC.

The former footballer served as a Match Of The Day pundit and co-host of The One Show before his BBC contract was terminated due to concerns regarding his behavior.

In an interview with The Sun, Jenas claimed "nothing physical ever happened" but admitted to "cheating" on his wife.

He said: "I'm not proud of what I wrote and what I said. This is all on me and I fully accept there is a level of responsibility that needs to be upheld when you're a member of the BBC."

Jenas insisted "I did nothing illegal" and argued the messages were with "two consenting adults". "With one she made it clear she was interested," he added.

Apologising to his family, friends and colleagues, the 41-year-old married father-of-four said: "I have let myself down, my family, friends and colleagues down, and I owe everyone an apology - especially the women with whom I was messaging. I am so, so sorry."
