BT Sport’s senior pitch-side interviewer Des Kelly has left the channel ahead of their rebrand as TNT Sport next week.
Mail Sport has learned that Kelly’s last engagement for the channel was Manchester City’s Champions League final over Inter Milan last month, when he caused controversy by asking Ilkay Gundogan for his autograph live on air at the Ataturk Stadium.
Kelly is the second high-profile and long-serving broadcaster to leave BT this summer following the departure of presenter Jake Humphrey, who as Mail Sport revealed in May will be replaced by Laura Woods.
