The Horne Section return to BBC One

Alex Horne's outfit to be the house band on Crouchy’s Year Late Euros

Alex Horne is to star alongside Peter Crouch and Maya Jama in a new BBC One show tied in with this year’s postponed Euro football tournaments.

The comedian will appear with his band The Horne Section on Crouchy’s Year Late Euros – reuniting the team that made Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer last year.

The new series  will feature match reviews and predictions from Euro 2020 - now rescheduled to kick off in June –  plus  entertainment features and celebrity guests

Horne said: "The Horne Section and I are thrilled to be the musical backbone of this genuinely unique and unpredictable live animal.

‘Peter Crouch has been my hero for 15 years, Maya Jama is a superstar and I am a mild-mannered bandleader with a motley troupe of absurdly talented musicians at my disposal - if those aren't the ingredients for a delicious post-football entertainment dish then we're all doomed.’

The show, made by Fulwell 73,  will kick off on BBC One on Friday June 11 following the opening game, Turkey v Italy.
