Andy Gray confronted by accusations of sexism once again

A previously unseen clip has emerged apparently from the early 2000s of inappropriate chanting by the Scot and Richard Keys

Andy Gray's return to football commentary on British television has been overshadowed by the leaking of a new video showing alleged sexist behaviour by him and co-presenter Richard Keys.

Gray was sacked by Sky in 2011 after tapes surfaced showing him making sexist remarks about female linesman Sian Massey and towards a colleague, Charlotte Jackson. Keys then resigned.

Gray made a return to British TV last weekend as a guest commentator for BT Sport in its coverage of the FA Cup tie between Stevenage and Everton.

Now a previously unseen clip has emerged on website The Football Ramble, showing the pair chanting "Get your t**s out" at Sky's touchline reporter Clare Tomlinson, apparently during the early 2000s.

BT Sport has refused to comment over whether it will hire Gray again, but a statement from the broadcaster said: "Andy Gray made a guest appearance last weekend and we were happy with his commentary."

It is not known how the video surfaced, but a source at Sky said: “We recognised this as an issue three years ago and we dealt with it.”

Keys and Gray have recently been working for Qatar-owned broadcaster BeInSport fronting their live Premier League coverage.Keys referred briefly to the latest row on Twitter, saying only: “It’s pathetic.”

In 2011, Keys blamed “dark forces” for forcing the pair out of Sky.
