As if the odd crisp ad and Match of the Day wasn't enough, the Lineker clan can now add The Only Way Is Essex to the televisual CV, as Wayne Lineker is due to make his first appearance on The Only Way Is Marbs next month.

Yep, as per Digitial Spy, Gary's brother (who is the man behind that chain of Linekers sports bars you spy on just about every package holiday) is attempting to launch a brand new bar in Essex, so it's no wonder he's taking the bit of free publicity where he can. Anything to get away from that tax fraud scandal eh Wayne? And of course it wouldn't hurt ITV2 if brother Gary was to show up now, would it? A show insider apparently suggested that Wayne's family (code word for his brother, obvs) could visit if he nabs himself a recurring role.

Yeah. Because we're sure the Match of the Day presenter is just itching to get himself a full body tan and complimentary vajazzle...
