Micah Richards jokes he was 'on absolute FIRE' during parties at sex-mad Olympic village in 2012 as he recalls staying out until 4am while playing for Team GB's football side

Micah Richards has opened up on what life was like inside the London 2012 Olympic village, joking that he was 'on fire'.

The former Manchester City defender was one of 18 players selected by Stuart Pearce for the Team GB squad 12 years ago.

Captained by Ryan Giggs, the team also includes the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Craig Bellamy, Aaron Ramsey.

However, they only reached the quarter-finals after losing to South Korea on penalties following a missed spot-kick by Sturridge.

The London games saw sportspeople from across the world living together in close proximity, and Richards has revealed the sex-mad lifestyle of athletes inside the Olympic village.
