IAN WRIGHT threatened to walk off from BBC’s FA Cup final coverage after Gary Lineker aired his 1993 music video.
Wright joked about leaving after his timeless attempt at pop stardom was shown on TV.
Wright joked: “No! Why are you showing this? I’m going, I’m not staying, get it off!”
Lineker returned the favour on Wright after footage of the BBC presenter’s awkward dancing and miming along in an England Euro 88 song.
Wright’s musical antics were given a public airing during half-time of the FA Cup final at Wembley.
The final produced a dramatic finish with Leicester winning 1-0 to land their first FA Cup triumph.
Youri Tielemans’ second-half rocket clinched the victory for the Foxes but the drama was still to come.
Chelsea thought they had forced extra time with a late equaliser but Ben Chilwell was deemed offside through VAR by the tightest of margins during the attack.
Asked before the game about Chelsea’s decision to wear tracksuits in the build-up, Wright said: “I don’t like to see people turning up to the FA Cup in tracksuits.

“It’s not what this game is about, we saw all the lead-up, the suits is what it is about.
“Leicester I’m so pleased, that’s why I’m supporting Leicester, they’re respecting it.
“You’ve got to wear suits to the final, this is the day!”
