Jermaine Jenas, who presented The One Show and appeared on Match of the Day for the BBC, has been sacked by the corporation following complaints about workplace conduct.
The former footballer, 41, has been taken off air from both primetime shows.
BBC News understands his contract was terminated this week because of alleged issues relating to workplace behaviour.
Responding to the news, Jenas said there were “two sides to every story” but he would let his “lawyers deal with it”.
