Former England footballer Matt Le Tissier has blamed his Sky sacking on him being a 'conspiracy realist' over the Covid-19 pandemic and appeared to suggest 'crisis actors' were being used in the Russia-Ukraine war in a recent podcast appearance.
The former Premier League star, 53, was heavily criticised this week after appearing to suggest that the media have lied about the unfolding horrors in eastern Europe, which have seen thousands of people killed and millions become refugees.
As a result, Le Tissier quit as an ambassador at Southampton football club but stopped short of apologising for spreading conspiracy theories about Russia's massacre of civilians in Bucha, Ukraine.
