The trio of hosts are set to host Amazon Prime Video's upcoming weekly entertainment progamme giving viewers a mix of celebrity and football guests looking back at recent matches - and ahead to the next ones - as they break down the beautiful game's big talking points.

Broadcaster Gabby said: "I am beyond thrilled to become part of the Back of the Net team sitting alongside my old mate John Bishop and the wittiest footballer in the land, Peter Crouch.

"Football is about passion, skill and rivalries but ultimately it's about people and their stories and there's so much fun to be had around the beautiful game every week in the Premier League."

Liverpudlian comedian Josh quipped: "Each week, I guarantee to give an extremely impartial, straight laced view of the recent champions of Europe."

And footballer Crouch - who spent last season at Burnley before getting released after making just six appearances - poked fun at his status as a substitute.

He joked: "I'm really excited to start this show with Gabby and John and I'm hoping it's going to be a smooth transition from bench to sofa."

It was previously announced Prime Video will be exclusively airing 20 matches a season - 10 over one bank holiday and 10 during one midweek fixture programme - for three seasons from 2019.

Alex Green - MD Sports, Prime Video - said: "While our live Premier League coverage in December will of course focus on the action, we wanted to bring back the humour and quirkiness of a studio show based on the nation's favourite sport.

"I'm absolutely thrilled that Peter, Gabby and John will be our regular hosts, offering their wit, banter and anecdotes, every week of the season."
