FORMER footballer Jermaine Jenas has said there are “two sides to every story” after being sacked from the BBC following complaints about workplace conduct.

The ex-Premier League player, who co-hosted The One Show and Match Of The Day at the BBC, said he was “not happy” about his sacking and he will be speaking to his lawyers about it.

“Look, I can’t really talk about it,” he said in an interview with talkSPORT News.

“I, as you can probably see, I am not happy about it. But currently, as it stands, I’m going to have to let the lawyers deal with it.

“You know, there’s two sides to every story, as we know. So that’s all I can say right now.”

When asked about reports that he sent unsolicited texts to a female member of staff at The One Show, he replied: “Like I said, I’m not happy about this situation.

“You know, I’m going to be speaking to my lawyers about it is all I can say right now.”

Jenas declined to elaborate about what the complaint about him related to, whether it concerned more than one colleague, if he was surprised a complaint was made against him, when he was first aware that a complaint had been made and when the BBC told him he was being sacked.

He also declined to answer when asked if legal proceedings were under way, whether he felt he would be able to continue working in sports presenting, or the industry as a whole, or if he felt he should apologise to anyone about his departure from the BBC.

It comes after a BBC spokesperson confirmed to the PA news agency on Thursday evening that Jenas “is no longer part of our presenting line-up.”

According to BBC News, the 41-year-old had his contract terminated after issues were raised involving digital communications, such as texts, in recent weeks.
