An inside source told The Sun: ‘When Gary was approached to be a part of the show he absolutely jumped at the chance.

‘When it comes to TV, Gary is an old hand so he didn’t need much guidance on the day. Everyone working on the show told him he was a complete natural.

‘Gary will feature in the next series of the show during a scene where Ted’s assistant Coach Beard, played by Brendan Hunt, is imagining he is out for a night on the tiles in the capital.’ 

This isn’t Gary’s first on-screen appearance, he previously featured on An Evening With Gary Lineker, which followed a couple abroad during the 1990 World Cup.
