The picture, which showed sausages wrapped in bacon neatly lined up on a tray lined with tin foil, next to an imposter sausage, was was accompanied by an amusing caption. It read: "Love cooking Xmas dinner, I always do it in the buff !" In a response to the now deleted image, Stelling said: "My bloody sons. All their presents going back ! All Robbie will get is a Darlo shirt and Matt a ticket to a Palace game. FFS !!" The Daily Star noted that the picture was seen by many of the Sky Sports presenters 220,000 followers, before he deleted it. Former BBC presenter Simon McCoy replied: "Very naughty. But bloody funny… Happy Christmas x." Former Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford posted a single laughing crying face emoji with Stelling saying in response: "Kids mate !!!" https://twitter.com/SimonMcCoyTV/status/1606801233502765057 https://twitter.com/jermainebecks83/status/1606775790506573829 Stelling, 67, has three children with wife Liz whom he married back in 1998.
