Jermaine Jenas denied being a sex pest and insisted he had done nothing illegal as his sexting scandal rocked the BBC.
But he apologised if he made the women he had messaged feel uncomfortable.
He said:
“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.”
That’s the end of a promising bradcasting career. Phones are dangerous things.
Jenas was presenting on talkSport Drive when the news of his BBC dismissal broke on Thursday.
Asked about the allegations on air, he repeatedly refused to be drawn on why he had been sacked and said he was “speaking to lawyers”.
On the same day, his profile was removed from his agent’s website.
