FOOTBALL fans are devastated to find out that Simon Thomas will not be appearing on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday – and SunSport knows why.
With the return of club football, fans from all across the country are set to tune in to the show which brings us every single goal as they go ripple the net.
And Simon Thomas is usually the man in the hot seat to keep football lovers up to date on what is going on.
But unfortunately, the Soccer Saturday specialist has confirmed that he will not be making an appearance today.
Simon Thomas will not be on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday as he has contracted Covid.
Speaking on Twitter, he said: “Sadly no #soccersaturday for me today – #Covid has hit the Thomas household.
“@carolinebarker is in the hot seat today. Go well CB – you’ll be brilliant.
“See you next week. ”
Simon Thomas was born in Cromer, Norfolk, on January 26, 1973.
He began his career in 1999 when he became the 27th presenter on the BBC’s iconic children’s show Blue Peter – which he fronted alongside Katy Hill, Konnie Huq, Matt Baker and Liz Barker.
After six years on the show, Simon made the move into sports broadcasting.
Aside from his presenting career, Simon has also become a popular speaker on mental health, grief and sobriety, speaking to organisations such as Asda, Aviva, the Home Office and Linklaters.
He also had his own podcast titled ”Life Interrupted” – a project which ran for three series and saw the presenter speak to stars about how they found a way through some of life’s toughest challenges.
