Jermaine Jenas' spokesperson issues statement as shocking new allegations emerge against disgraced presenter

A spokesperson for Jermaine Jenas has issued a public statement following fresh allegations against the disgraced presenter.

Another woman has come forward to accuse Jenas, 41, of inappropriate behaviour – claiming the former England and Tottenham player 'pestered her for sex' during their time working together at BT Sport.

Last month, Jenas was sacked by the BBC following an internal investigation into his workplace conduct.

The former midfielder, who presented The One Show and regularly appeared on Match of the Day, was axed following claims he acted inappropriately with several female colleagues.

Jenas later apologised for his behaviour, admitting he sent inappropriate texts to colleagues at the BBC despite being married to his wife Ellie for 13 years.

talkSPORT also dropped Jenas in the wake of the scandal, although TNT Sports - formerly known as BT Sport - is yet to confirm if Jenas will continue working for the broadcaster.

Earlier this month, a woman alleged that Jenas sent inappropriate messages to her while working at the Qatar World Cup.

Now, another woman has claimed that Jenas sent her numerous unsolicited sexual messages during their time working together at BT Sport.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, the unnamed woman claimed she had just started shift working as a freelance make-up artist for the broadcaster in 2017, when Jenas began to send her unsolicited sexual messages.

She claimed that 'Jenas refused to take no for an answer' and 'bombarded her with texts detailing his sexual fantasies'.

He is alleged to have 'asked her to come to his dressing room for sex' as well as 'sending her an unsolicited video showing his penis'.

She said she feared losing work if she came forward to complain and was left 'nervous' about working with Jenas.

The woman said she later told her line manager, who was contracted to work for BT Sport, about the messages.

She said her response was 'supportive and protective' but stopped short of formally alerting the channel's management to Jenas' behaviour.

SPORTbible has contacted Jenas’ representatives, BT Sport and TNT Sports for comment.

A spokesperson for Jenas has not denied the authenticity of the messages but has rejected that they were unsolicited.

"Jermaine denies that these messages were unsolicited and it is disappointing that it has taken seven years for these accusations to come to light," read a statement.

"Jermaine has already apologised for his past actions and is currently taking time to focus on his family."

Speaking after the initial allegations against him emerged, Jenas apologised for his behaviour - adding that he was "ashamed" of his actions.

"I am ashamed, and I am deeply sorry," he told The Sun.

"I have let myself down, my family, friends and colleagues down, and I owe everyone an apology – especially the women with whom I was messaging. I am so, so sorry.

"I am sorry for what I have put them through. I think it would be fair to say I have a problem.

"I know I self-sabotage and have a self-destructive streak when it comes to my relationship especially, and I know I need help. And I am getting help.

"I have made a lot of mistakes, and I am asking myself a lot of questions at the moment. I know there's a lot of work that needs to be done, and it will be hard."
