But as Spurs got underway in their second Europa League game of the season, viewers were more drawn to the sound of the commentary.

The audio was several seconds behind the pictures, making for bizarre coverage of the match.

There also appeared to be something of an echo coming from those in the commentary box.

And fans were quick to comment on social media as they took aim at TNT Sports.

One said: “I thought it was just me. New to the service and not impressed with the sound delay”.

Another added: “@tntsports fix your audio!!”

A third replied: “Fix up your audio TNT. Ruining the game ”.

While a fourth responded: “@tntsports sort out the commentary on the Spurs game please it’s so behind”.

Tottenham came into the clash having opened their Europa League campaign with a 3-0 win over Qarabag.

MARRIED At First Sight star Lacey Martin’s mum breaks down in tears in tonight’s show after groom Nathan Campbell makes an insensitive joke during a family dinner.

In awkward scenes, she grows tearful at the dinner table as Lacey, the bride’s sister, and Nathan watch on.

Nathan, who is proving a hit with fans, puts his foot in it when he says the dinner, which is chicken fajitas, tastes like something “out of the bin.”

The evening starts positively enough with Lacey singing her man’s praises.

She says: “He’s never raised his voice to me, he’s never called me any names, he listens to me.

“Obviously dating someone with ADHD is different but it’s helped me to be more patient and how he feels about me he shows me in actions.

“He makes me a cup of tea, he makes me breakfast in bed when I was feeling unwell and he was asking if I wanted anything.”

Lacey’s mum turns to her sister and says: “She’s already defending him.”

Nathan, in a piece to camera, reveals: “It’s really nice to hear Lacey in my defence, she seems to be becoming more comfortable with me, and everything seems to have gone well.”

But things soon took a turn, as the camera zooms into Lacey’s mum folding a tortilla.

Nathan says: “Take it with you if you want as well because that’s awful. I’m joking, I’m joking, I’m joking.”

Lacey’s mum looks completely shocked, and says: “His banter is coming out now.”

But Nathan doesn’t leave it there, as he continues to offend by saying: “I could go ‘that looks like the bottom of a bin’ but I ain’t going to.”

Lacey can be seen in a shot off camera saying: “Nath, shut up!”

Nathan tries to downplay his comment, but Lacey’s sister tells him: “She just gets a bit sensitive with her food you know.”

Lacey’s mum fires back: “Not even my food, I thought that was a bit rude.”

Nathan reassures her, saying: “I was joking, I was joking,” which led Lacy’s sister to encourages him to say sorry, so he did.

But it isn’t left there, as Lacey’s mum goes on: “Lacey wouldn’t speak to your mum like that, especially when she’s been cooking. It’s just not very nice and you’ve upset me now.”

To which Nathan replies: “It’s just a joke that me and Lacy had between each other.”

And Lacey’s mum responds: “But I’m not Lacey, I’m her mum.”

NOT only has Phil Keen been unmasked as the final Stig on Top Gear, he’s also the most successful British GT racing driver of all time.

Here we take a look at Phil’s time on the show, as well as his illustrious motor racing career.

Who is Phil Keen?

Phil Keen was born on October 20, 1983, in Reading, Berkshire.

Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson revealed Phil was the third and final person to play the “The Stig” on the show.

Phil took on the role between the years of 2010 and 2022, right up until the show was cancelled.

Jeremy hosted a viewing party for the final episode of The Grand Tour at the pub on his farm, where he told a crowd: “The original Stig was Perry McCarthy, followed by Ben Collins, followed by Phil Keen.

“There isn’t a current Top Gear so there isn’t a current Stig, but the last one was Phil Keen.”

On top of inhabiting the suit of the mythical legend, Phil is also a top professional racing driver who’s had an incredible career spanning over two decades.

Racing Career

Phil has enjoyed a long and successful stint in GT racing.

He was crowned champion in the British GT Championship SuperSport class in 2009.

Phil won an incredible eight races out of 14 alongside his team-mate Marcus Clutton during the course of the season.

It was the only year he drove in the SuperSport class — he returned to GT3 the following year.

At the age of 40, Phil still competes in the class — as of October 3, 2024, he was sitting in fourth place.

He is considered to be the most successful driver in the championship’s history.

Driving for Barwell Motorsport between 2016-18, Phil finished runner-up three years in a row.

He holds a record 19 British GT Championship wins, with 12 poles.

And he’s also racing in the European Le Mans Series LMGT3 category for the 2024 season.

Phil has competed in various GT3 cars, including the Lamborghini Huracan GT3, Porsche 911 GT3-R, BMW Z4 GT3, Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo and Ferrari 296 GT3.

He served as an official Lamborghini factory driver and won the 2019 GT World Challenge Europe Pro-Am title with the manufacturer.

His total career wins so far stand at 45, with 92 podiums and 22 poles.

The Stig gig

Phil took over the role of The Stig in 2010, following Ben Collins’ departure from the show.

He continued in the role until Top Gear’s final episode in 2022.

As The Stig, Phil’s main job was setting lap times for cars tested on the show’s track at Dunsfold Aerodrome.

He was also responsible for training celebrity guests off-camera for the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment.

Legendary legacy

Phil’s tenure as The Stig spanned over a decade, making him the longest-serving driver to take on the legendary role.

His reveal as the man in white marks the end of an era for Top Gear fans, closing the chapter on one of television‘s best-kept secrets.

The Stig’s identity was always a closely guarded secret, with the character never speaking on camera and always appearing in full racing suit and helmet.

Every Stig’s anonymity was part of a long-running joke on the much-loved show.
