Iain Stirling has found himself in hot water with Newcastle United fans after labelling the team 'a pony club' during Monday's Love Island.
Given that contestant Gemma Owen's dad is none other than football star Michael Owen, viewers have naturally come to expect a few references to the beautiful game on the ITV2 dating show this year, any fans of the Magpies who happened to watch the latest episode probably wouldn't have been expecting the scathing dig against the side.
The Love Island narrator, who played the Tyne Theatre in April, said "Luca's grabbed Gemma for a catch up. Gemma was telling me today that she once joined a pony club. Coincidently her dad Michael once joined a pony club...it's called Newcastle United."
