"This is weird..." Jonny Evans 'in shock' at wife's surprise interview

It isn't too often you see Jonny Evans stuck for words.

The Northern Ireland international is one of the most vocal players on the pitch. His leadership qualities helped earn him 100 caps for his country, and the captain's armband at Leicester City.

But earlier this week Evans was caught out by a surprise interview conducted by his wife, Helen.

The Irish FA set up the meeting ahead of Evans' 100th cap which came against Greece on Tuesday night.

The 34-year-old thought he was being teed up to do some "camera pieces" for the IFA's social media. But when he walked into the room there was Helen waiting with questions in hand.

"What? What's going on? This is weird" a smiling Evans says as he enters the room.

"They told me it was just pieces to camera. That's why you didn't ring me after training. We usually have a wee call after training."

In the interview Helen quizzes Jonny on his international career, including his debut and what it means to reach 100 caps for Northern Ireland.

Check out the interview above.
