Alex Horne's outfit to be the house band on Crouchy’s Year Late Euros

Alex Horne is to star alongside Peter Crouch and Maya Jama in a new BBC One show tied in with this year’s postponed Euro football tournaments.

The comedian will appear with his band The Horne Section on Crouchy’s Year Late Euros – reuniting the team that made Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer last year.

The new series  will feature match reviews and predictions from Euro 2020 - now rescheduled to kick off in June –  plus  entertainment features and celebrity guests

Horne said: "The Horne Section and I are thrilled to be the musical backbone of this genuinely unique and unpredictable live animal.

‘Peter Crouch has been my hero for 15 years, Maya Jama is a superstar and I am a mild-mannered bandleader with a motley troupe of absurdly talented musicians at my disposal - if those aren't the ingredients for a delicious post-football entertainment dish then we're all doomed.’

The show, made by Fulwell 73,  will kick off on BBC One on Friday June 11 following the opening game, Turkey v Italy.
