Roy Keane was quick to poke fun at Ian Wright and Jill Scott over their fawning of NFL icon JJ Watt.
The 35-year-old appeared on the latest episode of the Stick to Football podcast, where he discussed his whopping 7,500 calorie intake during his career.
Watt, who is now a minority owner at Burnley, declared he consumed two breakfasts, while eating as many meals for lunch and dinner.
Following his retirement in 2022, he conceded he now only eats around 4,500 calories per day, but still takes part in weight training four times a week – mixed in with three cardio sessions.
And once the ex-Houston Texans defensive end, who stands at 6ft 5in and weighs 288lbs, left the studio, Keane couldn’t resist mocking his colleagues.
Lionesses legend Scott was left in awe at his epic calorie intake, with Wright equally as shocked.
Interjecting, Keane quipped: “You’re amazing. He said he needed 8,000, he’s 6ft 20in, and you’re like, ‘Ooh 8,000’, while doing an impression of the duo’s starry-eyed reaction.
He continued: “It’s going to be 8,000, so just treat him like a human!”
Trying to defend himself, Wright stated: “Because I’ve never heard that before,” leading Keane to reply: “What if he said 200 calories?”
To which Wright responded: “I would have said, ‘well that doesn’t seem like much.'”
An exasperated Keane then said: “Exactly! It’s going to be f****** 8,000 isn’t it? He’s 6ft 9in, he trains nine times a day, it’s going to be a lot.
“And when he said it, you and Jill were like, ‘Oh isn’t it amazing (while waving his arms around).”
His animated reaction drew wild laughter from Scott, Wright and Gary Neville.
Keane then further taunted the pair, by adding: “‘What did you have for your breakfast?’, ‘Rice Krispies’, ‘Oh that’s amazing, wow.’
“Jesus Christ… ‘Have you got a kid?’, ‘I’ve got a little boy’, ‘Wow!’
Scott and Wright then insisted Keane was just ‘jealous’, with the latter telling the Irishman that Watt is gone now.
With a smirk on his face, Keane joked, “Well I hope he’s gone”, leading to more laughter from his colleagues.
