Jermaine Jenas has apologised as he admitted to sending “inappropriate messages” to women at the BBC in the wake of his sacking by the corporation over workplace misconduct.
The former footballer said he was ashamed and had let himself down – but strongly denied any criminality and being a “sex pest”.
The 41-year-old also disclosed that his marriage is on the rocks and confessed that he had lied to his wife over the allegations in an attempt to “find a way out of this mess”.
Among his revelations is his admission that he “frantically” sexted a woman over 24 hours after getting her number at a work event.
After being married to model Ellie Penfold for 13 years, he said his behaviour was cheating, “although nothing physical ever happened”.
