Presenting a show for Spurred on in August 2015, Mitch is previewing Tottenham's trip to Leicester in the Premier League when he reveals his dislike for both Gary Lineker and Walker's Crips.

"This week we have Leicester away at the King Power Stadium and that's a bit of a weird name because there is nothing royal about that club," says Mitch.

"The best thing to come out of Leicester is Gary Lineker and Walker's Crisps, and I hate both of them but that's a whole other story and we'll get into that another time."

The latest controversy is likely to cause more trouble for Mitch, with Lineker the host of Match of the Day and the broadcaster appearing on the spin-off show Match of the Day X.

After the footage of him calling Liverpool a 's***hole' came to light, Mitch took to Twitter to issue an apology for his comments.

However, the FA were believed to be considering their employment of Mitch for future engagements having used him on a freelance basis during last summer's World Cup.

The BBC have declined to comment on the matter. Craig Mitch as also been approached for comment.
