DISCOVERY TO FOLLOW VINNIE JONES'S COUNTRY LIFE FOR NEW SERIES

Discovery+ have commissioned Vinnie Jones: The Wild Life (w/t), a new series which will follow the footballing superstar's life in the countryside, where he recently purchased 147 acres of land.

Vinnie said: "Most people know me as a professional footballer or Hollywood hardman, but what they probably don’t know is all of that hard work has been to support my real passion: my home in the great British countryside...

"I was raised living off the land and can’t wait to show people the joy and beauty of our countryside, and the reward of old-fashioned hard work. Bring it on."

A source told The Sun: "This show will see Vinnie in a totally different light, where viewers can witness his vulnerable side. It’ll be hugely uplifting and great fun as Vinnie and his family take on living in the country and bonding at the same time."

More details will be revealed in due course.
