The Football Focus host joined Alex and Gethin via video link on The One Show today as the trio discussed the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on live sport. However, Dan soon found himself taken off air during the conversation as a technical blunder left Alex and Gethin struggling to hear their BBC colleague.

The One Show hosts turned the conversation towards the cancelled Tokyo Olympics and the fact both Dan and Alex were supposed to be in attendance.
