‘Is this a common phrase?’ – Gary Neville confuses fans after accusing Tottenham star of ‘having frogs in his pants’

GARY NEVILLE left fans baffled by his bizarre turn of phrase on commentary.

The former Manchester United defender, 49, was on the gantry alongside Peter Drury for Sky Sports during the North London Derby.

Tempers had already flared before kick-off in the tunnel with the mascots and then again as Jurrien Timber sparked a mass brawl.

And Tottenham were desperate to get in at half-time goalless and allow things to calm down.

So goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was busy organising his defenders as Spurs prepared to face an Arsenal corner.

But Neville made the most of the opportunity to deliver his strange line.

He said: “Look at Vicario. He’s got frogs in his pants.”

The insinuation being that Vicario was very busy and frantically moving around nervously in the goalmouth.

But why he used “frogs” rather than “ants” left supporters watching the match on TV confused.

One said: “Is ‘frogs in his pants’ a common phrase or is this like mini retirement again from Neville?”

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

That is a reference to Neville’s infamous comment to the Diary of a CEO podcast that he goes on holiday – also known as taking “mini retirements”.

Another viewer wrote: “Cheers Gary.”

A third added: “What does that even mean? Is it a Manchester thing?”

And a fourth typed: “I get that he hasn’t looked particularly composed from set pieces… but Gary Neville saying Vicario looks like he’s ‘got frogs in his pants’ because he’s instructing his defenders where to be… whilst funny… feels harsh! Every goalkeeper commands his defenders pre corners!”

Incredibly, a tweet from May references Neville mentioning “frogs in his pants” again – implying he may well have used the unusual phrase on commentary at the end of last season as well.

Vicario did not organise his defenders well enough at a corner during the second half, though.

He got crowded out in his own six-yard box as Gabriel made a run on Cristian Romero and headed powerfully into the back of the net as Arsenal took the lead.

Prince Harry has always felt inadequate compared to William – there were signs even when he was tiny

PRINCE Harry has always felt inadequate compared to William, even from a young age, a royal pro has claimed.

Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine and Royal Biographer, Ingrid Seward, said that the late Princess Diana ‘worried’ about the Duke, 40, and ‘wasn’t sure which way he was going to go.’

Ingrid told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show that Diana would ‘hate’ that Harry has fallen out with Prince William, 42, even though he used to ‘bully’ his younger brother as a child. 

Speaking to The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson, the royal expert explained: “[Diana] was very concerned about [Harry’s] feeling of inadequacy with William.

“Even when they were very little, when Harry went to Miss Minors, which was the baby school, after William had been there, the teacher there said to him ‘here Harry, play with this clay, William used to be really good at making model figures’.

“Harry threw it down and said ‘no!’, so from a very young age, Harry felt inadequate.

“It was nothing to do with Diana, nothing to do with Charles, but it was just there.”

Ingrid suggested that this feeling of inadequacy may have arisen from behaviour of royal nannies.

She continued: “Maybe it was to do with the nannies, I’m not talking about Barbara Barnes who was completely brilliant, but sometimes the nanny will focus on the more important child, it’s just a matter of what happens. It happened when Charles was young, and Prince Philip actually fired the nanny. 

“It could’ve been that but he was always very conscious of being second in command.”

The Royal Biographer claimed that Diana was ‘worried’ for Harry and ‘conscious’ of his sensitivity.

She added: “I think she worried much more for Harry because she just wasn’t sure which way he was going to go.

“When William was a little boy, he would bully him quite a lot, which was perfectly normal, and Harry would always take the blame for the scrapes they’d get into. Again, perfectly normal for young boys.

“But Diana was very conscious of Harry being a very sensitive child and she wondered what he was going to do, was he going to follow his love, which was the army, even as a little boy.

A timeline of Prince Harry's family feud

The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace.

Once she’d returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat.

He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly.

The younger prince reportedly didn’t take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he “went mental”.

Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate.

The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.

Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced.

The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign.

The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure – but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.

Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born.

The move further increased rumours of a fallout.

Harry also hinted in his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey” that he and his brother had grown apart.

In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially.

Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn’t want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift.

In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a “peacemaker” between the brothers.

Harry claimed his brother “knocked him to the floor” during an argument about Meghan, in his memoir.

In Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row.

Harry alleged William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.

He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.

In January this year, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch’s shock cancer diagnosis.

Harry flew back to the US the following day – without seeing Wills. 

In May he visited the UK for a three-day visit without seeing King Charles or Prince William.

“It was planted very, very young, that seed of William having the privilege. And Harry of course didn’t really understand. In a way it’s better to be the spare than the heir.”

After stepping down as working royals and leaving the UK in 2020, Harry, who is based in California with wife Meghan Markle, 43, and their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, now live in their sprawling mansion in Montecito, with A-listers including Oprah Winfrey and Gwyneth Paltrow as their neighbours.

Relations between William and Harry have been strained for years, but their rift became even more apparent when Harry and Meghan spoke out against the Royal Family during their interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 – where they claimed Kate had made Meghan cry ahead of her 2018 wedding in an argument over bridesmaid dresses.

Harry then made a string of bombshell claims about William in his controversial memoir, Spare, last year, claiming that William had once ‘knocked him to the floor’ in a physical fight and that he had also pointed his finger in Meghan’s face and branded her ‘rude’.

William and Harry are no longer on speaking terms, and it’s thought that they kept their distance when they recently attended the funeral of their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, in Norfolk

When it comes to Harry’s fall-out with his brother, Ingrid suggested: “What [Diana] wouldn’t like is this fall out from the family. She would really hate that. 

“She wouldn’t be at all happy that Harry had fallen out with William. She always said to them ‘please, please remember, don’t ever forget that you’re brothers and I want you to be friends’. That would worry her about Harry.”

‘Let’s just take our clothes off and do it!’ says Tamzin Outhwaite as she opens up on sex scenes with younger man

The former EastEnders actress, 53, plays the role of Sylvie in new Channel 5 drama The Wives.

While speaking to The Sun’s TV Mag, Tamzin discussed working with an intimacy coordinator while shooting the show’s sex scenes.

She shared:  “Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve had to do anything like that. People don’t ask women in their 40s and 50s to do that very often.

“And to be honest, it was quite liberating, because obviously the whole point is that she’s meant to be free.

“I mean, the fact that she’s dating much younger men and having sex with much younger men, and being confident with it was
a really lovely thing to play.

“I’m not prudish, so I was kind of okay with it. Obviously, we had
intimacy coordinators, which I also never experienced.

“That was my first time having one, and so that was quite strange.”

She added: “You know, someone saying: ‘Is it okay Tamzin if he touches you there?’ and I’d be like: Yeah, just get on with it, let’s take our clothes off and do it’ because you want it to be authentic.

“You don’t want it to look robotic and choreographed.

“You want it to look like it’s spur of the moment, heat of the moment, and full of lust.

“That was quite new for me, having an intimacy coordinator, but I love the fact that you see the girls doing that.

“You don’t actually see the women naked, but you see them in a sexual light, which I thought was quite welcome, really.”

Set in Malta, mystery drama The Wives also stars Jo Joyner as Beth and Angela Griffin as Natasha.

All the characters’ lives are forever impacted in an unprecedented summer as family secrets come to light.

A synopsis reads: “Sylvie Morgan was happily married, Natasha Morgan was swimming in wealth, and Beth Morgan and Annabelle Morgan were thick as thieves.

Tamzin Outhwaite's roles over the years

Viewers may recognise Tamzin Outhwaite from several projects over the years

“But this year, as they come together again, everything is different.

“Sylvie’s now single and loving life, Natasha’s hiding a desperate financial situation, Beth is barely keeping her life together and Annabelle is, well… dead.”

The cast also includes Christine Bottomley as Annabel, Jamie Bamber as Charlie and Katie Clarkson-Hill as Jade.

The Wives will begin airing Monday, September 16 at 9pm on Channel 5.

I’m a relationship expert – here are the five red flags that you’re dating a catfish

THOUSANDS of singletons across the globe fall victim to catfish and scammers every year.

And with online dating becoming a more popular way for people to meet, it is riskier than ever to fall for a catfish.

A relationship expert revealed the 7 signs that you're dating a catfish
Experts shares five red flags that means you could be talking to a catfish

When you’re looking for love, it can be heartbreaking to realise that the person you’ve been talking to isn’t who they say they are.

And new data has revealed that 40 per cent of us know someone who has been catfished, while 22 per cent have fallen for catfish themselves.

Luckily, one relationship expert is on hand to help keep singletons safe as they navigate the online dating world.

April Davis, founder and president of LUMA Luxury Matchmaking, has shared five key ways you can catch a catfish.

You can’t find them anywhere else online

In this day and age, almost everyone has a social media presence – especially those who are willing to try dating apps.

So if you can’t find them anywhere online, like a Facebook, Instagram or even LinkedIn account, this could be a major red flag.

April says: “If you’re suspicious, ask to add them on Facebook or Instagram.

“If they refuse or the account they send you looks new, that’s a red flag.”

They make conversations personal very quickly

Catfish are well known for ‘love-bombing,’ which is a form of emotional manipulation.

This happens when someone uses excessive and extravagant expressions of love to try to manipulate another person.

So, if the person you’re talking to immediately goes over the top with compliments, wants to communicate all the time, and makes statements like ‘I love you’ within a few days of speaking, it’s a big red flag.

The experts explain: “Catfishes want you to feel special so that you’ll bond with them, and they want to do it quickly so that they can take what they want from you and move on.

“If they can convince you this is a whirlwind romance, they’ll have a better chance of scamming you because you’ll be more inclined to say yes when they ask you for things.”

They don’t open up

If someone is asking a lot of questions about you but is not willing to offer up much in return, this could be a catfish red flag.

This is because these scammers are, of course, not who they say they are and it can be hard for them to keep their lies straight.

As a result, most catfishes would rather not give out any personal info at all if they can help it.

April added: “Catfishes are looking to scam people with as little effort as possible, so they don’t want to go to the trouble of making up and maintaining a fake identity.

“If you insist on knowing personal details and your new conversation partner goes quiet, you might have just dodged a catfish.”

EXPERT ADVICE

APRIL Davis, founder of LUMA Luxury Matchmaking, shared her top pieces if advice for anyone who thinks they may be talking to a catfish.

“There are several ways to protect yourself from catfishes.

“First of all, never give out money, your bank information, or your credit card details to someone you haven’t met in person. Be wary with your personal information as well.

“Catfishes are usually scammers looking to either convince you to send them money, get access to your cards, or persuade you to give them enough personal details that they can commit identity fraud.

“I wouldn’t give out much beyond superficial information before you’ve met in person.

“Another thing to watch out for is their photos. Do they look Instagram-model perfect? Then the catfisher might have stolen them from an actual Instagram model.

“Screenshot or save their pictures and do a reverse Google image search to see if you can determine where the photo is actually from.

“Of course, one of the most significant catfish indicators is when they won’t video call.

“Some people are shy, yes, but when you’ve been talking for weeks, there’s no reason not to video call.

“If someone gets aggressive or ghosts you after you ask, or if they employ an excuse (‘my camera is broken’ is common, but someone I know was once told ‘I don’t have good enough internet because I work on an oil rig’!) then you should be very wary.”

They ask for money

Asking for money, no matter the reason, is a huge red flag.

Whether they want a bank transfer or your credit card number, catfishes have a wide range of sob stories to tell when it’s time to try to swindle you out of your cash.

April says: “Never give out any money or information to someone you’ve only met online, especially if you haven’t seen their face.”

They won’t show their face

Unsurprisingly, someone who doesn’t want to show who they are in a video call or real-time pictures could be a catfish.

The last thing a catfish wants is for you to see their real face because they usually steal pictures from someone else to use.

This means they are likely to refuse to send photos or do video calls.

April explains that the best way to check that someone is legitimate is to ask them to send a picture of themselves doing a specific pose or activity.

Especially an unusual one that would be hard to find photos of online.
