New allegations involving disgraced BBC presenter, Jermaine Jenas have come to light, claiming the star harassed a junior make-up artist for sex.
The former host of The One Show, 41, has been hit with multiple accusations in recent months, with the most recent account including a woman who reportedly told him she had a boyfriend.
Jenas, a father of four, was allegedly so persistent in his quest to have sex with the unnamed woman that when she revealed she was in a relationship, he reportedly replied by telling her: ‘Just come to my dressing room early, and I’ll [perform a sex act] on u… that’s not cheating.’
The woman claims the alleged incident occurred in 2017 at BT Sport, where the former pro footballer was starting to build his career, but she didn’t report it out of fear of losing her job.
Speaking to Daily Mail, the make-up artist, whom the news outlet agreed not to name following fears it could impact her career, claimed she had told Jenas that she was not interested in him romantically or sexually but that he pursued her anyway.
She claimed she met Jenas at the show, which has since been renamed TNT Sports, and was surprised to find he followed her on Instagram soon after their first encounter.

After connecting on the social media app, Jenas allegedly began sending the woman direct messages of explicit content, including a video of him holding his genitals and a picture asking her for a ‘snog’.
‘Soon after that message and the video I had to go in to do a touch up for him to go on-air,’ she told the news outlet. ‘He whispered to me “did you see my messages” and I just said “yes”, as in “I’d seen them, not interested,” and just carried on working.’
The woman claimed he messaged her again on his birthday, February 18, asking for a ‘birthday kiss’ and promised to keep it ‘our secret’.
The woman claimed she responded by telling him she was in a relationship and ‘not interested’ in his advances. Jenas reportedly ignored her response and continued to send her messages.
One message allegedly read: ‘But you’re so sexy! I want you!!!!’ with an angry emoji.
She claimed another said: ‘Would you rather lay on your back while I [perform an intimate act] …or do you prefer it [a lurid sexual description]’, to which she again said she was not interested and didn’t want to cheat on her boyfriend.
