Jermaine Jenas’ wife returns to social media with career news following his ‘explicit texts’ scandal

Comes weeks after his BBC sacking

The wife of Jermaine Jenas has made a return to social media amid his ‘explicit texts’ scandal.

The 41-year-old was sacked by the BBC in August following claims of ‘inappropriate behaviour’. Jermaine later spoke out in an emotional interview.

He insisted he’s done “nothing illegal” but confessed to sending “inappropriate messages” to “two consenting adults,” who were his colleagues on The One Show.

Amid claims he’s battling to save his marriage to wife Ellie, she’s made an announcement on social media.

It comes weeks after Jermaine’s dad Dennis said the star is “very upset” and trying to save his marriage to Ellie.

Speaking to The Mirror, Dennis said: “He was very upset of course. He did not think he had been treated well by the BBC. I didn’t ask him what he had done as I knew whatever it was it wasn’t illegal. I tried to give him a boost and the support he needed. He was in a state and needed it at the time.”
