Jermaine Jenas has reportedly been fired by the BBC following complaints about workplace conduct.
The former footballer will no longer appear on The One Show alongside Alex Jones and Match of the Day, the BBC has said.
"We can confirm Jermaine Jenas is no longer part of our presenting line-up," a BBC spokesperson said but didn't disclose the reason for Jenas' exit.

A spokesperson for Jenas told The Sun: "Right now I can’t talk about it. I can tell you I’m not happy - there are two sides to every story - and I’m going to be speaking with my lawyers on the issue."
According to BBC News, the presenter had his contract terminated following allegations made against him relating to workplace behaviour, though currently specific details of the misconduct have not yet been made public. The broadcaster was allegedly made aware of the issues a few weeks ago.

It appears that Jenas' page has also been removed from the website of his agency, MC Saatchi.
Jenas began hosting The One Show with Jones in 2020, with him and Ronan Keating sharing co-presenters duties to replace Matt Baker, who'd left earlier that year.

The news comes at a time when the BBC have already had to address workplace misconduct allegations against some of its stars, names Strictly Come Dancing professionals Graziano Di Prima and Giovanni Pernice.
In response to concerns of a "toxic" workplace culture, the BBC maintained they have appropriate measures in place: "The welfare of our crews working on each series of Strictly is always of paramount importance to us. We act speedily when any concerns are raised, and we have thorough, effective, and longstanding processes to manage them."
