Jenna Garvey: Last News

Channel 5's The Teacher had viewers unimpressed with many confused by the same unanswered question.In the all-engrossing show, Sheridan Smith has been playing the lead role of the teacher Jenna Garvey, who had been accused of having sex with a pupil in a nightclub toilet during a night out.Over the last four days, the four-part psychological drama had viewers hooked with its nail-biting storyline. However with the show's final episode airing on Thursday fans were not happy with its "disappointing ending".Many were baffled, left with unanswered questions – mainly whether Teacher Jenna was still branded a sex offender or if she ever cleared her name.One tweeted: "Well, what a waste of time The Teacher was, worst ending I've ever seen."Another said: "That rushed ending was a letdown.

SCHOOL classrooms can often be a place where innocent love notes are swapped and pupils share longing looks. But when the attraction is between a teacher and their student, it can become far more sinister.

Sheridan Smith's new Channel 5 drama The Teacher have all come to the same conclusion about the plot of the show.The debut instalment last night saw Sheridan's incarnation of troubled teacher Jenna Garvey stand accused of abusing a position of trust, and sex with a minor after a drunken night out culminated in a blackout in memory where she allegedly had sex with one of her 15-year-old pupils.Fans of the show were riveted when the debut episode on Monday (January 31) saw Sheridan bring the character - and her very short skirt - to life on the small screen.They were soon left shocked when she drank heavily on a night out causing her to have a blackout and seeing her walk off holding hands with young pupil Kyle.Fast forward to the next morning and Jenna woke up on her sofa alone, with her memories of the events of the night before missing entirely.By Monday morning when the educator showed up at work she was left mortified after being told she was not welcome in the school and had been accused of inappropriate conduct with the minor.As things kicked off on Tuesday's (February 1) instalment of the programme viewers began to develop an interesting theory about the plot of the programme.Her lawyer was seen telling Jenna there was a lack of forensic evidence to prove she had taken part in sexual activity with her pupil, with the bulk of the case built on circumstantial evidence.However, things took an interesting turn when she was shown sexual photos she had allegedly sent the teenager over an app she seemingly had no clue was on her phone - which had notably gone missing for a period in episode one before turning up in a drawer just after one of her colleagues had been in the room.Sleuth-inspired viewers then took to Twitter
