Jermaine Jenas asked me for a 'birthday kiss' - then BEGGED for sex: Junior BT Sport make-up artist reveals how shamed ex-England star bombarded her with X-rated messages... but insisted 'it's NOT cheating'

Jermaine Jenas repeatedly pestered a junior make-up artist for sex - and when she told him she had a boyfriend replied: 'Just come to my dressing room early and I'll [perform a sex act] on u… that's not cheating.'

The latest account of Jenas's sexualised pestering of female colleagues is the earliest yet - predating his mainstream broadcasting success with The One Show by several years - and also features the most lurid messages.

Jenas,41,a married father-of-four,was abruptly sacked in August by the BBC - where he also worked on flagship show Match of the Day - for sending 'inappropriate messages' to two female colleagues,something he later admitted left him feeling ashamed.

He has since been met with similar allegations from other women.

Just last week MailOnline revealed that he bombarded a woman working at the World Cup in Qatar two years ago with unwanted messages asking 'You want my boy now?' before sending her a picture of his manhood, despite her making clear she was not interested in his advances.

The latest woman to accuse Jenas had just started shift working for BT Sport in 2017,where he was a rising star as a football pundit - and he soon began to send her unsolicited sexual messages.

In an interview after his sacking,Jenas apologised for what happened,lashed out at the BBC - but admitted: 'I feel ashamed. I feel I've let everybody down - friends,family,colleagues.'

Addressing the women directly,he said: 'I'm genuinely sorry for what I've done to you. I always thought it was consensual and a two-way thing.'

During his football career,Jenas appeared for England and played for Nottingham Forest,Newcastle United,Tottenham,Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers.

He also hosts Formula E race coverage for TNT Sports,which was previously BT Sport.

The woman who worked with him on the show said BT should now rethink its relationship with Jenas.

She said: 'I can't blame BT because they didn't know about it at the time.

'But they do now,and what they do will show what kind of company they are. If they're willing to allow people to do that under their name,under their brand.'

A Formula E spokesperson said last month that the presenting line-up for the next series of would be 'carefully considered' after the last season finished in July.

As well as the BBC,Jenas has also been dropped by his high-profile TV and celebrity management company,M&C Saatchi Merlin,who look after other names including Freddie Flintoff and Helen Skelton.

BT Sport was approached for comment.
