Jermaine Jenas has been dropped from his slot on talkSPORT on Friday afternoon in light of his BBC axing.
The BBC sacked the former England international on Thursday afternoon following an internal investigation and he will no longer appear on The One Show or Match of the Day.
But Jenas does not only work for the Beeb, and also has roles with talkSPORT and TNT Sports.
It has already been reported that the ex-midfielder would not work again for TNT Sports this month but it has also emerged that he is set to be dropped from his slot on talkSPORT this afternoon.

Jenas made a shock appearance on the radio site just moments after it was announced that he had lost his job with the BBC.
And rather than speak about the issue, it was completely ignored - though he did go on to speak to talkSPORT as he broke his silence on the matter, albeit in awkward circumstances.
The 41-year-old revealed that he would be consulting his lawyers on the matter and insisted that there was 'two sides to every story'.
"I can't talk about it right now," he said.
"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."
Jenas also added: "I'm not happy about this situation.
"I'm going to be speaking to my lawyers about it, is all I can say right now."
talkSPORT insisted that they had always planned for Jenas to host on Thursday afternoon but there were no future roles for him.

"There are no plans for Jermaine to broadcast as a presenter on talkSPORT in the immediate future."

The couple have been married since 2011 and have three children together, living in Hertfordshire.
