A woman, who was a VIP party planner in Qatar, alleged the former footie star pestered her for bikini snaps.

Jermaine Jenas denied fresh claims he pestered a waitress for bikini pictures

The presenter said he felt 'ashamed' of himself in a sit down interview with The Sun

Jenas allegedly sent a message asking "you want my boy now" before sending an x-rated photo of himself, as reported by the MailOnline.

It comes after the 41-year-old presenter was sacked by the BBC after admitting to sending "inappropriate texts" to two female co-workers.

Speaking about the BBC incident the married father-of-four previously said he was "ashamed" of his actions and "deeply sorry".

In response to fresh claims made by the waitress, a source close to Jermaine told The Sun: "Jermaine completely denies these texts were unsolicited. They were between two consenting adults."

The woman who claimed she was bombarded by Jenas for bikini pictures alleged he sent pressing WhatsApp messages.

She said some read "I wanna see it now" and "you know what it's like when you're away".

The 38-year-old met him December 2022 at a five-star hotel restaurant in Doha.

The woman gave her number to Jermaine after he booked a table.

The source close to him said: "She handed Jermaine her number and was trying to arrange to meet him, whilst desperate for him to bring his VIP mates to her parties.

"Funny now more than two years on the texts were not wanted."

The same source added: "Jermaine has been working hard to start rebuilding his marriage and help his kids go back to school over the last few weeks.

"The family have been battered with media attention and also a few false claims with people looking to cash in on the situation.

"He is mortified by the pain he has caused as he made clear in his interview with The Sun."

A BBC spokesperson said: "As we have explained previously, he is no longer part of our presenting line up."

It comes after the former One Show host broke down in his sit down interview with The Sun, and said: "I have let myself down, my family, friends and colleagues down, and I owe everyone an apology — especially the women with whom I was messaging. I am so, so sorry.

"I think it would be fair to say I have a problem. I know I self- sabotage and have a self-destructive streak when it comes to my relationship especially, and I know I need help. And I am getting help.

"I have made a lot of mistakes, and I am asking myself a lot of questions at the moment. I know there's a lot of work that needs to be done, and it will be hard."

Jenas' dad also opened up about how his son is fighting for his marriage to wife Ellie.

Dennis Jenas said the scandal had hit the family hard.

He told The Mirror: "He knows he shouldn't have done what he did and he wants to keep his family together and he knows he has hurt his wife and kids.

"I called JJ as soon as I saw what had happened. He's my little man, my trouper, my main guy.

"He did not think he had been treated well by the BBC. I tried to give him a boost and the support he needed. He was in a state and needed it at the time."

Ellie has kicked him out of their bedroom the couple shared at their £1million home in Hertfordshire.

The pair share three children together, two daughters Geneva and Olivia and a son called Jacob, while Jenas has an older daughter, Sancha, from a previous relationship who lives in the United States with her mother.

Jenas has also now hired a team of lawyers to assess the BBC's handling of his sacking, and whether confidential information was leaked.

The former football star is looking to sue the broadcaster and confirmed a legal letter has already been sent to execs by his newly-hired representatives.

He said his anxiety has rocketed, and is concerned senior staff in different departments within the BBC — including sport and entertainment — appeared to be openly discussing his dismissal when it should have been kept confidential.

An emotional Jenas told The Sun: "The handling of the situation wasn't great. It was quick — and hell."

He also slammed the dismissal process, which happened over a Zoom call  while he was on holiday in Spain with wife Ellie and their three kids.

The sacked Match of the Day host further confessed he tried to apologise to the two female colleague but was blocked by the BBC.

He told The Sun: "When it was all unfolding and I knew I was losing my job, I asked HR if I could contact the two women directly and apologise to both of them.

"But because of the legal process, I wasn't allowed.

"I really want to apologise from the bottom of my heart in terms of what I've put them through."

Addressing the women directly, he said: "I'm genuinely sorry for what I've done to you.

"I always thought it was consensual and a two-way thing."
