Mark Wright has vowed to streak if England beat Scotland - but if they lose he will block his Scottish father-in-law's phone number "for at least a month".

The 34-year-old TV presenter - who married Michelle Keegan in 2015 - plans to get his kit off and sprint across the pitch at Wembley if England defeat Scotland in their Euro 2020 Group D clash on Friday (18.06.21).
He told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “I’m going to the game at Wembley ... I watched the 1996 fixture at Wembley when Gazza scored that goal in the Euros. It was a moment I’ll never forget. If Phil Foden or Jack Grealish can be our modern-day Gazza tonight and I’m there to witness it, it will be a dream come true. I might streak on the pitch.
“My father-in-law, Michelle’s dad, he’s Scottish, and he wants Scotland to win massively.
"Me and him love each other to bits, but tomorrow night, when that game’s on, we’re going to be taunting each other big time. If England win he will be getting ribbed, and if we lose, his number will be getting blocked for at least a month. I will never live it down. I will love-hate him for that period of time.”
However, the former Crawley Town player admitted he loves his father-in-law and Scotland, but he can't help but get carried away with the football rivalry.
He explained: “It’s a crazy thing but an amazing thing that we both want to beat each other so bad, the rivalry’s so huge between Scotland and England.
"But it’s about the football shirts and the players that are wearing it, not about the country, because ultimately we do love each other.
“My father-in-law is Scottish and I love him to bits. My boss at Sky is Scottish and I get on with all these people. But when it comes to the game, we would have an Anthony Joshua stare off before it because that’s how ready and psyched up we are.”
