The BBC has sacked former professional footballer Jermaine Jenas as a pundit and presenter, whilst he also leads Formula E’s world feed coverage.
Formula E issued a statement concerning the situation with its presenter Jermaine Jenas, who was dismissed by the BBC last Friday for allegedly sending inappropriate messages to a female colleague. Jenas, a former professional footballer, had been a BBC football pundit and presenter for several years after retiring in 2016 at the age of 32. He was recently named as Formula E’s new lead presenter for the completed Season 10, replacing Vernon Kay. In response to the allegations and Jenas’ departure from the BBC, Formula E released a statement addressing the situation. The Formula E spokesperson mentioned that Jenas was part of the Season 10 presentation team and that the lineup for Season 11 would be announced in the future, considering the high standards expected within the championship. Jenas is said to be handling the allegations through his legal representatives.
