Ian Wright involved in car crash on way to Match of The Day filming

Ian Wright was involved in a car crash on the way to Manchester for Match of The Day.

Ex-Arsenal footballer Ian was planning to appear on the sports telly show on Saturday night but Storm Eunice tried to put a stop to it.

As the treacherous weather continues across the country, Ian became one of its victims.

He showed off a picture of himself on social media on the M56 with a damaged car in the background.

Ian thankfully left the crash without any damage to himself and thanked the emergency services for their help.

He said: "Not a straightforward trip up for @BBCMOTD!."

"Thankfully nobody was hurt. Be careful out there, lots of water on the road.

Around 200,000 homes lost power across the UK, according to Environment Secretary George Eustice.

London's O2 Arena has been damaged and a 122mph gust on the Isle of Wight set a provisional record in England.
