Football legends in a family feud! Harry Redknapp shared an unforgettable tale on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa about his son, Jamie Redknapp, and nephew, Frank Lampard. In a heated football encounter, Jamie ended up needing 24 stitches after a clash with Frank.
Picture this: Liverpool vs. West Ham, and Harry’s on the bench as manager. Jamie, playing for Liverpool, tackles his cousin Frank, a rising star at West Ham. Things got fiery, with a memorable chat from Harry’s goalkeeping coach, Les Sealey, urging Lampard to get back on the pitch and give Jamie a taste of his own medicine.
Frank didn’t manage to ‘get him’ on that day, but when they met later in the season, Lampard, then with Chelsea, delivered a hefty blow, leaving Jamie with quite the war wound. But don’t worry, there’s no bad blood between these football greats.
Jamie recounts their little scrapes with humour, even recalling a cheeky encounter with Lampard at White Hart Lane, resulting in plenty of stitches—but no hard feelings. Since their football days, both have paved their own paths: Frank’s pursued management, while Jamie’s a familiar face as a Sky Sports pundit.
Family ties, football rivalries, and a sport story to remember—Harry’s story keeps everyone entertained. Got to love a good family football saga! ⚽️✨
