Jermaine Jenas has given his side of the story after breaking his silence on his sacking by the BBC.
On Thursday, the Beeb revealed that they had axed Jenas after an internal investigation.
Accused of 'inappropriate behaviour', Jenas was removed from his roles on Match of the Day and the One Show.
A female member of staff claimed that the ex-Tottenham star sent her 'unsolicited text messages', The Sun reported.

Bizarrely, the announcement was made just moments before he appeared on talkSPORT's afternoon show Drive, where he failed to address the situation whatsoever.
But now the former England international has spoken out in an awkward interview with talkSPORT where he insisted there was 'two sides to every story'.
While still on air without realising, Jenas was asked: "Can I just add, Jermaine, I can see that you are absolutely fuming," to which he replied "yeah".
The 41-year-old then said: "Is this still on air?"
Someone replied: "Yeah, we are still recording," and Jenas demanded "turn it off".

It was then out to him: "I just want to ask you this on tape. I can see that you are fuming right and I understand entirely there are certain things you can't talk about.
"But you are a major BBC star. Can you articulate any of your emotions right now towards the BBC and this happening to you?"

Jenas replied: "I can't talk about it right now.
"I cant talk about those things [how I feel] right now. Like I said, There's two sides to this whole thing. My lawyers are going to be taking over from now on."

As well as being dropped by the BBC, it appears his agency has also removed him after he disappeared from MC Saatchi's website.
The One Show skirted over the issue during their Thursday show with hosts Alex Jones and Clara Amfo not making a single reference to the issue.
