Question of Sport's Paddy McGuinness details call with Sue Barker after she was axed

Ugo, who has represented England on the international stage 14 times over the course of his career, called Matt to explain he was going to be a team captain.

He said: “[Matt] congratulated me and wished me well and gave me a few tips and the nicest thing was that he told me to just go out there and be myself.”

Ugo explained one of the big reasons he and olympian Sam wanted to be team captains was because of how Matt and Phil made them feel on the show when they watched it.

Sam said: “It was their baby and the baton is being passed on like it was when they got the job – they have been lovely.” 

Question Of Sport returns September 3 at 7.35pm on BBC One.
