Jermaine Jenas, former BBC presenter and ex-footballer, revealed his deep remorse in an interview with The Sun newspaper after being sacked for sending inappropriate messages to colleagues on The One Show.

Despite asserting that he did nothing illegal and the messages were sent to consenting adults, he admitted to making a 'huge error of judgement.' The BBC terminated his contract this week following the allegations.

Jenas, who is married with four children, is now undergoing therapy and expressed his deep regret for disappointing his family, colleagues, and friends.

The BBC has confirmed his dismissal but has not released further details.

Jenas received the termination notice via video call while on a family holiday.

He denied sending any explicit content and is currently consulting with lawyers.

His profile has been removed from his agent's website, and talkSport announced that there are no immediate plans for him to return as a presenter.
