FORMER Premier League and BBC star Jermaine Jenas has been banned from driving for six months after being caught using his phone at the wheel.
The former Spurs, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest footballer, 39, was stopped by cops after they suspected he was using his mobile in his Range Rover.
In October last year, he was stopped in Marsh Lane, Stanmore, North London.
Just after 3pm in the afternoon officers saw the former England ace just over five miles from his home, as he was alleged to be using his phone behind the wheel.
He was also caught speeding on the M25 on March 4 earlier this year, going 65mph in a 50mph.
Earlier this month Jenas admitted both offences at Willesden Magistrates’ Court.

PC Neil Cornelius told the court: “I noticed that the driver of this vehicle was using a handheld mobile device whilst driving. The device was being held in both their hands.”
