Jermaine Jenas, who was dismissed from the popular talk show ‘The One Show’ after complaints about inappropriate behavior, is most likely to be replaced by Big Brother winner Rylan Clark.
Key Takeaways
- After Jermaine’s departure, there is a high chance Rylan Clark will fill Jermaine’s shoes on The One Show.
- Clark won the eleventh series of the reality show Celebrity Big Brother.

Jermaine is a former footballer who moved into media work as a pundit after his injury forced his retirement.
He had been a permanent presenter on the BBC’s The One Show for three years, entertaining Brits each week.
The ex-footballer’s contract with BBC’s The One Show as the presenter was terminated following allegations involving unsolicited digital communications, including texts to a member of a production team.
This issue was brought to the BBC’s attention, and the corporation later announced his departure on August 22, 2024.
However, after the former Premier League star’s sudden departure, the question now is who will replace him as the BBC’s The One Show presenter.
Multiple reports have speculated that personalities like Big Brother legend and Morning Live host are tipped for the job.
Among them, there is a high chance that Celebrity Big Brother winner, Rylan Clark is going to fill Jermaine’s shoes on The One Show.
Lee Astley, a spokesperson for ‘betideas,’ said:
“The news of Jermaine Jenas’ sacking from The One Show on BBC has kickstarted the rumor mill on who will replace him as a permanent host, with Rylan Clark a solid chance in the betting.”

Rylan was one of the contestants on the ninth series of the talent show The X Factor in 2012, in which he finished in fifth place.
The following year, he appeared on the eleventh series of the reality show Celebrity Big Brother, which he won.
He is a familiar face to viewers as he often presents ITV’s This Morning, among various other television shows.
However, Jermaine was on the fast track to TV superstardom and had even been tipped to be the next Match of The Day host.
Amidst the inappropriate events, people have mixed feelings about the speculation of whether the Big Brother star would be a good successor to Jermaine.
On Aug 23, 2024, Journalist Ray Addison shared information about the speculated replacement of the ex-Tottenham star with Big Brother legend Rylan Clark on his X account.
