Sky Sports have released a hilarious new advert featuring an all-star cast ahead of the new Premier League season – which includes Roy Keane dressed up as a clown.
The broadcaster’s ‘Greatest Show on Earth‘ circus advert features some the top names in sport, including Manchester City duo Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish, Lionesses star Ella Toone, F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, England cricket captain Ben Stokes and many more.
Each sports person shows off their skills in the ad, with golf ace John Rahm showing his accuracy before Hamilton takes on Lando Norris in a race around the circus.
However, one moment has fans talking as ringmaster Idris Elba approaches Keane, who is caked in clown make-up to close out the advert.
‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ showcases Sky’s brilliant selection of live sport across the year.
