FANS have been left in hysterics after Gary Neville’s voice reached a new level of high-pitched.
Sky Sports viewers are no stranger to hearing the pundit go squeaky when he is debating Jamie Carragher or letting out an iconic “oooo” on commentary.

But on the latest episode of SkyBet‘s The Overlap on Tour, Neville was compared to Mickey Mouse after his latest outburst.
The Manchester United legend was discussing with Carragher, Ian Wright and Roy Keane how to switch off when a member of the crew interrupted their chat.
Neville hilariously snapped and went incredibly high-pitch, exclaiming: “Jack, we are filming here. This is content.”
The behind-the-scenes team member thought they had not started filming, with the former right-back replying: “We have started. I told you press record from the [first] minute.”
Wright then brilliantly chimed in, saying: “Talk about relaxing.”
Neville was then reassured that they were recording, being forced to do deep breathes and “get his belly out” by Carragher.
Even Keane was laughing and fans also found it hilarious, with one saying: “Gary is brilliant.”
Others were distracted by Neville’s voice, commenting: “A new meme is born.”

Another added: “He’s gone full Mickey Mouse.”
A third reacted: “Shorts are too tight maybe.”
More said: “Neville doing his best Joe Pasquale impression.”
FRENCH football chiefs are looking to “transform” Ligue 1 because it is “not sexy”.
France‘s first division has previously received criticism regarding its quality with some referring to the competition as a “farmer’s league”.
That is why the Ligue de Football Professionnel launched a decisive step in their plan to change the public perception of French football and shed all the negativity.
According to L’Equipe, the LFP president Vincent Labrune is planning a major revamp that has been in the works for two years.
The president said he would be taking steps to tackle Ligue 1’s image problem, through “the transformation of the product”.
Labrune added: “We have been working on this for more than two years and basing it around three strong pillars: Image, experience, and culture.”
The LFP’s Chief Transformation & Innovation Officer Jerome Dumois has been placed in charge of Ligue 1’s rebrand and insists the competition needs to become more “sexy”.
Global stars who mainly played for Paris Saint-Germain, like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, have left but there is still belief the top flight could still turn into the “coolest league to follow”.
Dumois said: “We might love our league, our season, our clubs, but in the end, we have this image problem: Ligue 1 is not sexy.
“We need this change of image to work on our brand. This is not an advert, it is a new behaviour to instil a need for change.

“Maybe we won’t have the best players in Ligue 1 but we can become the coolest league to follow.”
Cristiano Ronaldo has been among the biggest critics as he ruffled a lot of feathers recently when he made the staggering claim that the Saudi Pro League is better than Ligue 1.
That led to some furious reaction, most notably from Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf who told Al-Nassr superstar Ronaldo to “shut up”.
Leboeuf suggested the Manchester United great spoke ill of the French first division because that is where his nemesis Messi used to play.
JESSE Lingard has found himself in trouble with South Korean police.
The former Man Utd ace was fined after breaking two road rules during a scooter ride in Seoul.
Lingard went viral on September 16 after taking a kickboard through the Apgujeong-dong neighbourhood of the city.
The 31-year-old uploaded a clip of him cruising through the streets, wearing a tracksuit and baseball cap.
South Korean law dictates riders must hold a valid driver’s licence to operate a scooter.
They must also wear a helmet when riding on the street.
Seoul police have since confirmed they have fined Lingard a total of 190,000 Won following the incident.
The fine amounts to around £106 for his two breaches of the road rules.
A source close to Lingard told South Korean news agency Newsis any suggestion the player was intoxicated during the ride was “nonsense.”
Per The Daily Mail, the source told Newsis: “Lingard had no idea. He didn’t know that he needed a licence to ride it.

“His mother and younger sister came to Korea for a trip and had a meal in Apgujeong-dong. [Allegations he was] drinking is nonsense.”
Lingard took to Instagram earlier this week to apologize and urge others to “check the rules” before jumping on a scooter.
The ex-Man Utd star told his 9.2 million followers: “I didn’t know the rules of wearing a helmet or having a license as well.
“In England, and probably in Europe as well, you can just pick up an e-scooter off the street and start riding it.
“Anyone visiting South Korea, obviously, you have to check the rules.
“It can be dangerous. Safety first for everyone. Obviously, I won’t do that again.”
Lingard, who has played 32 times for England, joined FC Seoul in February.
He has since appeared in 18 games for the K-League side, scoring 4 times.
The midfielder was fined £57,000 last year after admitting to drink driving last year in his £200,000 Lamborgini.
Lingard was also banned from driving for 18 months after being pulled over by cops in Manchester while double the legal alcohol limit.
He said in a statement last July: “I want to acknowledge my mistake and publicly apologise for my unacceptable actions.
“I completely understand and accept the consequences of my mistake by putting the lives of others at risk.
“I am sorry to all my fans anyone who has followed and supported me throughout my career.
“I accept the sentence of the court and the fine.”
BRITAIN is calling on its citizens to immediately leave Lebanon as tensions in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah continue to rise.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy warned the situation could “deteriorate rapidly” and urged Brits to leave while they still can.
It comes after 37 people were killed and over 3,000 injured in remote-controlled device explosions across Lebanon this week.
Israeli Mossad spies twice surprised terror group Hezbollah by hiding explosives inside their pagers and walkie-talkies and setting them off.
Hezbollah and Iran have vowed to seek revenge and the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) launched airstrikes above southern Lebanon today as tensions soar.
Mr Lammy tweeted today: “My message to British nationals in Lebanon is leave while commercial options remain.
“Tensions are high and the situation could deteriorate rapidly.”
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has threatened a “crushing response” against Israel for the hack attacks this week.
Lebanese security forces claim Israeli spooks planted explosives inside thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah, months before the blitz.
Top brass inside the militant group had ordered its fighters to swap phones for pagers in a failed move to keep Israel from tracking them.
Mossad reportedly intercepted the devices on the supply route and packed them with the explosive PETN.
After the initial wave of pager blasts on Tuesday, other devices including walkie-talkies, fingerprint scanners, home solar systems and radios also exploded in Lebanon on Wednesday.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah hit out against Israel in a speech today, saying the “enemy” had crossed “all limits, rules and red lines” in a “massacre”.
He dubbed it a “declaration of war”.
Meanwhile Israel moved hordes of troops to its northern border with Lebanon and unleashed a wave of airstrikes on the country.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) hit seven targets in the country after Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said a “new phase” of war had begun.
Warplanes fired on settlements in southern Lebanon overnight and heavy artillery also fired across the northern border.
