Gary Lineker has admitted to being nervous about hosting Have I Got News For You.

The football pundit is no stranger to chairing a TV show as the host of Match Of The Day, but he will be trying something completely different when he takes the hot seat for the BBC topical comedy show.

He tweeted about his anxiety ahead of Thursday night’s recording.

It’s expected that Gary will have plenty to say about this week’s FIFA news, which saw seven corrupt officials from the footballing organisation arrested in dawn raids.

He had tweeted his views on the scandal.

Have I Got News For You will air tonight on BBC One at 9pm.
