Glenn Hoddle is in hospital after falling seriously ill at BT Sport studio on Saturday afternoon.

Hoddle was scheduled to make an appearance as a pundit on BT’s weekly Premier League score show but was taken ill and, according to Gary Lineker, collapsed before being rushed to hospital.

Hoddle turns 61 today and was expected to provide his analysis on Saturday’s football alongside Robbie Savage, Paul Ince, Steve Sidwell and Harry Redknapp before falling ill.

BT Sport’s Jake Humphrey confirmed that a decision had been made to cancel the programme before offering his best wishes to the former England manager.
