Of the Jermaine variety. Given the boot from the Beeb for "workplace behaviour" involving text messages.
My heart bleeds ..

Oh dear, how sad, never mind!

Stupid boy, he looked to have a great career ahead of him at the BBC.

All he had to do was behave and not be controversial. Was that really too much to ask?

No idea what he's done, but if he's been sacked, you have to assume there is more than sufficient evidence against him.

Can't see where he can go from here now. Would football have him back in a coaching role somewhere?

Has to be finished with any further TV career

He divided opinion on his punditry skills (everyone's an expert, right?). I quite liked him. A bit different to have a Notts accent too. Dick!

He works on TalkSport and TNT - they have issued no comment but his details have been removed from his agent's website. Total cancellation, it seems.

Okay

It does say "complaints," rather than just "complaint," so you would have to assume it's more than one person complaining about his behaviour.

Do GB News have a sports segment?

Another one of those. Nobody ever seemed to be one way or another about him, was just another sports/tv personality. Until he steps out of line and loads of people “always knew he was a wrongun”.

Yeah. He seemed to be a little bit outraged at the accusation at first didn't he. Obviously more accusations have come in and now I guess his solicitor has told him he hasn't got too much of a leg to stand on and should issue an apology.

Surprised he didn't apologise to his wife, she must be very embarrassed and a little peeved to say the least.

And those text messages have potentially cost him millions!

Silly boy.

Of course we don't know the details, his talk of consenting adults and the suggestion of individual case in his defense/denial?

Sounds very much like he's been given a talking to doesn't it. Can never get my head round why anyone, let alone someone in his position, would pursue someone who isn't interested.

Even if you put aside the fact he's got his own family surely as 'famous bloke of the telly' with a fair bit of cash in the bank its not that hard to find someone who is a willing participant.

He claimed nothing physical ever happened but he still feels like he cheated on his wife (who he did say he had "let down"). I suspect you could have got away with a few jokey, "racey" texts to women in the office a few years back, provided you didn't cross the line into pursuing them. Nowadays, it's harassment, unless it is reciprocated. Is that what he meant by "two sides to the story", i wonder?
