JERMAINE Jenas has made his return to TV with a new pundit gig this afternoon – just two months after being axed from the BBC.
Jermaine lost his £190k a year job at the public broadcaster after being caught ‘inappropriate’ texts to two female colleagues.

But today Jermaine was seen broadcasting on the sidelines at Emirates stadium, where Arsenal and Liverpool were playing.
The shamed presenter was covering the match for an overseas broadcaster, so he will not be seen on British airwaves.
It comes after Jermaine recently teased his return to presenting.
In an instagram story last month, the former Spurs star told fans that there was “some exciting stuff that I’ve been working on, so you’ll all have that to look forward to very soon.”
He also thanks fans for their support adding: “I’m looking forward to getting back and talking about what I love most. So last of all, thank you very much and I’ll see you soon.”
The 41 year was old was given the boot by the BBC back in August for sending unsolicited communications to two female staffers at the corporation.
The Sun exclusively revealed he the messages to the two women who worked on The One Show.
He was immediately pulled from air on both The One Show and Match of the Day.
Jermaine also presented on TNT Sports and has not appeared on the network since the scandal, although it is believe he will return and has not lost his job there.
In a sitdown interview with The Sun after the story broke, Jermaine expressed his remorse and admitted he did not known if his marriage to wife Ellie would survive.
He told The Sun: “We’ve not really spoken properly since. She’s absolutely raging.”
Praising her as an “amazing mother”, he said she was focused on the care of their two daughters and young son.
He revealed: “It’s just about the children right now. It’s the school holidays and they’re trapped in the house because photographers are outside my house.
“They’re like, ‘What’s going on, Daddy?’. It’s tough.”
He continued: “I’ve got to take responsibility and I’ve apologised to all of them.
