BBC bosses axed Jermaine Jenas so quickly not even Alex Jones knew about it as he was airbrushed off publicity websites within minutes - in contrast to Huw Edwards who stayed on the payroll for 10 months. Jermaine Jenas featured on the previous Facebook cover photo for The One Show He has now been airbrushed out after being sacked from the BBC for allegedly sending inappropriate messages The former footballer also appears to have been airbrushed from the website of talent agency M&C Saatchi Merlin. The contrast with Huw Edwards is striking, with the BBC continuing to pay him a salary from July last year - when The Sun informed them of allegations he had paid a teenager for sexual images - until April, when he resigned on medical advice A court sketch showed Edwards standing in the dock after he pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children The presenter is said to be 'deeply unhappy' about the allegations after he was fired this week after 'rumours' spread among colleagues about the inappropriate messages. Jenas' ex-model wife Ellie Penfold is standing by the axed BBC star as 'multiple women' come forward to make fresh claims about his alleged 'inappropriate behaviour' The former England international is understood to have told his wife of 13 years about the claims Jenas on the phone as he leaves Talksport yesterday evening after being sacked Jenas spoke to MailOnline 16 months ago about the strained relationship he once had with wife Ellie, saying they argued about the amount of time he spent socialising after filming for The One Show.
