Jermaine Jenas sacked by BBC after going viral with bizarre 'securing the coin' Instagram post

The One Show host posted the rambling video on social media in which he was sat drinking a pint on his way home from work.

Former BBC presenter Jermaine Jenas went viral earlier this year with a bizarre Instagram post about 'securing the coin' before he was sacked by the Corporation for inappropriate behaviour.

The One Show host posted the rambling video on social media in February in which he was sat drinking a pint on his way home from work.

Jenas, who the Mail today revealed was fired this week by the Corporation's bosses, told his 209,000 followers in the video: 'There's times when you've been out all week busy working hard, securing the coin.'

He then looked up to the sky and repeated 'coin' several times before adding: 'Only certain man know what I'm talking about when it comes to securing the coin.

'You just feel like you've earned it, you feel like you deserve it.'

The 41-year-old then took a sip of what appeared to be a Beavertown Neck Oil pint and said: 'Go on then, go on.'

He then panned the camera around to his dog and added: 'Lovely drop that, lovely drop.'

The strange clip was originally posted on Jenas' Instagram story back in February and is believed to be an impression of a TikToker named snokydangernew.

It has been reposted multiple times since it emerged that Jenas had been sacked, with one quipping: 'Jermaine Jenas now unable to go out and get coin coin coin coin coin...'

Former Premier League footballer Jenas, who racked up more than 100 appearances for both Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, has yet to address his sacking and began hosting TalkSport Drive's live show at 4pm today, just minutes after it emerged he had been sacked by the BBC.

Sources at the BBC have told the Mail that he will no longer host The One Show with immediate effect.

One told the Mail: 'It all came as a massive shock but his colleagues have now been told the news and he won't be back.

'His colleagues are stunned, they didn't see it coming at all. They were kept in the dark to start with.

'They couldn't believe it when they found out.'

It's understood the complaints related to his 'workplace conduct' and that the issues were raised with the broadcaster a few weeks ago, and it took action.

The married father-of-four last presented The One Show alongside Welsh co-host Alex Jones on July 22, and appeared on the Match of The Day panel on May 4.

A BBC spokesperson said: 'We can confirm Jermaine Jenas is no longer part of our presenting line-up.'

Jenas also previously hosted the Match of the Day spin-off and he was a regular studio pundit for the Beeb's Euros coverage.

He has also been mooted as a replacement for Gary Lineker on Match of the Day amid rumours that he is to leave in the near future.

Former footballer Jenas, 41, joined The One Show in In 2020, where he began co-presenting with Alex Jones.

A year later he became one of its permanent hosts.

As well as playing for England, he also played for Tottenham Hotspur for eight years between 2005 and 2013 after signing from Newcastle United.

Off the pitch, Jenas is married to wife Ellie who he tied the knot with in 2011.

They have two daughters, Geneva and Olivia, plus baby son Jacob, together while Jenas has an older daughter from a previous relationship who lives in the United States with her mother.

The saga is the latest to hit the BBC following the Strictly scandal and Huw Edwards pleading guilty to paedophilia.

BBC bosses are currently deciding how to announce the verdict of their investigation into Amanda Abbington's claims that Giovanni Pernice bullied her during rehearsals last year.

The ex-Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle star - who won 21 England caps - lives in a £1million house in Hertfordshire.

The ex-footballer made his first team debut for Nottingham Forest aged 17 and earned a big-money move to Newcastle United in 2002 where he was named PFA Young Player of the Year award in his
