Jermaine Jenas' wife makes announcement as former footballer drops social media clue after BBC sacking
PA
Jermaine Jenas' wife has announced a new business venture, while the former footballer has removed the BBC from his social media profiles following his dismissal from the broadcaster last month.
The former footballer, who scored one goal for England during his playing days, was sacked after allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
He has since fronted up and accepted he's made 'mistakes' during his marriage to Ellie Penfold, with the pair previously tying the knot back in 2011.
Ellie has been silent since her husband's axing, with the pair working through their problems together.

Regarding Jenas, meanwhile, the former Newcastle, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and QPR star has hinted he has no plans to try and return to the BBC.
Up until recently, the ex-footballer still had the broadcaster's name in his Instagram account.
Yet Jenas has now opted to remove it, while also curiously deciding to keep TNT Sports in there.
