Gary Lineker has admitted to having sex in a sponsor’s car before being interrupted just as things were heating up.

Appearing on his podcast The Rest Is Football, Lineker was answering fans’ questions when he was asked about his most embarrassing moment when working with a sponsor.

Lineker hesitated before telling the story, but eventually opted to go for it. Midway through the tale, he realised it was linked to his son Harry – who was in the room with him – but he had gone too far down the road to stop, leaving Harry red-faced as he listened to the intimate details of his dad’s relationship with his mother.

‘And it’s a Fiat Uno and it’s got my name at the side of the car all over it. Like “Gary Lineker drives Fiat Uno”. Red car, there’s a picture of it somewhere, in fact, I’ll get producer Harry to find it now.

The story left his son Harry (left) red-faced as it went into intimate etails about Lineker’s relationship with Harry’s mother Michelle

‘So I had this car, and this is a little bit awkward because I’ve just remembered that Harry’s mother is a part of this story!

‘So I’m driving the car with Michelle, we were then dating, coming home from somewhere and we kind of went down a little country lane and parked up. As Harry’s here, we had a little kiss and cuddle. 

‘But the fact that you’re one of four children suggests that you know went on with your mother and I on occasions,’ Lineker added as he addressed his son.

‘So we go down this thing and we’re just having a little kiss and a cuddle and all that and the car starts steaming up, and I suddenly get a knock on the window. “Alright, Gary!” 

‘I’ve got the bloody name on the car!’ 

Lineker then pulled up a picture of the car as he stood by it in his Leicester kit over 40 years ago. 

Alan Shearer and Micah Richards listened to the story in amazement, before the former jokingly asked: ‘Is that why Harry’s middle name is Fiat?’

Lineker and Michelle Cockayne have four children together, with Harry being the second eldest. Their other sons are named George, Tobias and Angus.

The couple married in 1986, before Cockayne filed for divorce 20 years later.

Gary and Harry have remained close over the years, with the latter working for his dad’s production company Goalhanger Films Ltd.
