Jake Humphrey, Jermaine Jenas, Ugo Monye, Lynsey Hipgrave and Joe Cole have all ‘auditioned’ for roles in some of the biggest shows on television as part of a hilarious advertising campaign for BT Sport.

Wearing the iconic flat cap, Cole puts in the best performance of the lot until he simply cannot stop himself from talking about football.
Having delivered a number of lines that would be at home in the popular BBC show, Cole ruins it all by adding: “Talking about Birmingham, quite fancy Villa to stay up at the moment.”
