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 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.
