Former England ace loses another presenting job
Jermaine Jenas has been axed as the main presenter of Formula E on TNT Sports, following his dismissal from the BBC earlier this year. The former England footballer was stripped of his roles on Match of the Day and The One Show after sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues.
Nicki Shields to take over Formula E coverage
Replacing Jenas on TNT's Formula E coverage is Nicki Shields. The all-electric race series is set to begin in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in December, with Shields stepping into the lead presenter role.
Excitement for Season 11
Formula E spokeswoman expressed excitement for Season 11, confirming Nicki Shields as the lead presenter. Shields herself shared her enthusiasm for the sport, stating her passion for Formula E remains strong after 10 years.
Jenas speaks out about dismissal
In a candid interview with The Celeb Report in August, Jermaine Jenas reflected on his dismissal from the BBC, admitting to hoping for a suspension rather than a permanent exit. He described the situation as grim and embarrassing, emphasizing that the messages in question were between consenting adults.
Future plans
Prior to his sacking, Jenas was seen as a potential successor to Gary Lineker on Match of the Day. However, with Lineker stepping down after 25 years, Jenas will not be on screens for the upcoming season opener in Brazil.
