Gary Lineker helped with the BBC's live coverage of the Olympics back in 2012.
Gary Lineker has revealed he almost made a severe mistake when presenting at the London Olympics in 2012.
He continued: "I’d find out what I could about their background, where they’re from, what their interests are, on the off chance that they might come into the studio. "I remember sitting in the studio, and I was on my own. They'd keep coming back to me, and I’d have a guest with me. This one night, I had nine separate lots of guests. That might’ve been one individual, a pair, a four, and I think there was even a group of eight.
Lineker added: "Now, I’ve looked across at the floor manager, and I've gone, I've hid behind my hands and went, 'Who the f*** are they?' I was about ten seconds away from interviewing them! I can't remember who they were, but they wore helmets, and it was impossible."I was going, ‘Who are they?’ and people were shouting in my ear: ‘It’s the so-and-so team,’ and I managed to scramble my way.
