Jermaine Jenas Returns to TV After Dismissal

Jermaine Jenas made his television comeback during the Arsenal vs Liverpool match, marking his first appearance since being dismissed by the BBC in August over inappropriate texts sent to female colleagues. Jenas, 41, is now working for Astro, a Malaysian Premier League provider, and was seen alongside former Arsenal players Martin Keown and Henri Lansbury. Following his exit, he had maintained a low profile but hinted at new projects in a recent Instagram video, expressing excitement about returning to football commentary. Prior to his dismissal, Jenas was a familiar face on BBC's Match of the Day and The One Show, and was considered a potential successor to Gary Lineker. A BBC spokesperson confirmed in August that he would no longer be part of their presenting lineup. Jenas has also not appeared on TNT Sports since leaving the BBC but remains optimistic about future opportunities in broadcasting.
