According to reports, Jermaine Jenas is set to make a comeback to television after being given a new opportunity by TNT Sports. The 41-year-old had previously been taken off air and let go by the BBC due to complaints and allegations of inappropriate behavior towards a female staff member at The One Show.
In light of the situation, Jenas later issued an apology for any discomfort he may have caused the women he had messaged, clarifying that there was no illegal activity involved and that both parties were consenting adults. It was also revealed that he would not be returning as a presenter on talkSPORT in the near future, where he was speaking at the time the news broke.
However, it seems that things have taken a positive turn for Jenas as recent reports suggest that he will be making a comeback on TNT Sports. The Telegraph has stated that he is expected to return to the airwaves later this season, with sources revealing that it could possibly be after next month's international break.
While a formal return date has not been discussed yet, it is worth noting that any further revelations of inappropriate behavior by Jenas at the BBC could potentially affect this decision. The report also mentions that TNT executives are facing a challenging situation, as they have not seen the evidence that led to his dismissal from the BBC.
Apart from his work as a freelancer for TNT, Jenas also presents E Sport programming. Following his BBC sacking, he publicly expressed his remorse and apologized for his actions, acknowledging that he had let down not only himself but also his family, friends, and colleagues. He also denied being a "sex pest" and stated that he is seeking help to address his issues.
In an interview with The Sun, Jenas admitted to making mistakes and hurting the people he loves. He also mentioned that he considers his actions as cheating, even though nothing physical had taken place. According to official figures, Jenas earned a salary of £190,000 to £194,999 for his work on the FA Cup, Match of the Day, and the World Cup at the BBC. However, his earnings for The One Show, which he joined in 2020, were not disclosed as it is produced by BBC Studios.
Jenas' final appearance on The One Show was on July 22, alongside Alex Jones. He also hosts Formula E race coverage for TNT Sports, but it is uncertain if he will continue in that role as well. During his football career, he played for England and various clubs, including Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Queens Park Rangers.
Although he was once considered a potential successor to Gary Lineker as the host of Match of the Day, Jenas was not present for the first episode of the new season. The Telegraph reached out to TNT for a comment, but they declined to do so. The Agency has also contacted BT Sport and Warner Bros Discovery for their statements.
