  "textContent": "\n\n\nJermaine Jenas has placed his six-bedroom family residence near Barnet, North London, on the market with an asking price of £4.95million, approximately 18 months following his dismissal from the BBC.\n\nThe former England international, now 43, originally acquired the property for £2.8million back in 2006.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nEstate agency photographs reveal the substantial home boasts an indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room facilities, along with a private gymnasium, dedicated cinema room and children's playroom.\n\nThe ex-Tottenham midfielder shared the residence with his wife Ellie, 37, and their children before their relationship collapsed following his high-profile departure from the broadcaster in August 2024.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nJenas has since registered his newly established company, Coldline Ltd, at a £3million terraced property in Hampstead, though he is not thought to reside there.\n\nThe broadcaster terminated Jenas's employment in August 2024 after he was found to have sent inappropriate text messages to two female colleagues working on The One Show.\n\nHis departure cost him an annual salary understood to be worth £190,000, encompassing his roles on both The One Show and Match of the Day.\n\nAt the time, the father-of-four acknowledged sending suggestive messages and expressed remorse to the recipients.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFollowing his dismissal, He told The Sun: \"I am ashamed, and I am deeply sorry.\"\n\nThe former footballer maintained he had committed no illegal acts and that the exchanges were between consenting adults.\n\nHe was subsequently hit with additional allegations the following month, including claims he had \"repeatedly pestered\" a junior make-up artist for sex whilst employed at BT Sport.\n\nJenas confessed to deceiving Ellie during a family break in Marbella, Spain, when he secretly took a video call with BBC executives regarding the messages.\n\n### LATEST SPORT NEWS:\n\n\n\n\n  * Harry Redknapp reveals stance on Tottenham return as pressure mounts on Tudor\n  * Simon Jordan launches scathing attack on 'bias' commentator as longstanding row reignites\n  * Manchester United legend lists £3.5million five-bedroom mansion for sale despite drop in price\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHe revealed his wife was \"absolutely raging\" upon learning the truth and promptly expelled him from their bedroom.\n\n\"I just said, 'I've been sacked from the BBC'. She said, 'What for?' and I said, 'For sending text messages that weren't appropriate to two girls',\" he recalled of the moment he told her.\n\nHis father, Dennis, speaking from Texas at the time, confirmed his son was \"battling to save his marriage\" and acknowledged the situation had \"hit the family hard\".\n\nHowever, their efforts proved unsuccessful as in March 2025, Ellie confirmed their separation via Instagram after 16 years together.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nShe wrote: \"After 16 years together and 4 wonderful children, Jermaine and I have decided to part ways. We will remain friends and continue to co-parent.\"\n\nJenas has since established his own production company as he attempts to reconstruct his career following the scandal.\n\nSpeaking on a podcast, he reflected on the ordeal: \"It's been a really difficult moment for myself and my family what happened. I have always held up my hand and taken full responsibility for it, that's very important to do.\"\n\nHe acknowledged that his entire television career had been \"wiped out\" by the dismissal.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIn December, appearing on the Golf Life YouTube channel, he spoke candidly about the toll the separation had taken, saying: \"My whole world was blowing up.\"\n\nGary Lineker had previously tipped Jenas as his \"natural successor\" to present Match of the Day before his fall from grace.\n\nThe couple married in 2011 and share two daughters and a son.\n\nJenas also has an older teenage daughter, Sancha, from a previous relationship.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**\n**\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter**",
