After the truly harrowing scenes that befell him back in August, you’d think that Gary Lineker may have had his fill of nudity-based wagers.
Not so it would seem, for the Match of the Day host has upped the ante by once again staking his dignity on the fortunes of Leicester City Football Club…
If Leicester retain the title I’ll do the first MOTD next season naked, standing on my head while Shearer and Wrighty beat me with a stick.

Leicester were top of the Premier League when Lineker made his original bet in December of last year.
We’re pleased to confirm that the Foxes are struggling to replicate that form, with Claudio Ranieri’s reigning champions currently languishing down in 13th place with just three wins from their opening 11 fixtures.
Indeed, even Lineker himself doesn’t seem quite as optimistic this time round…
Leicester could be the first team to win the Champions League and get relegated in the same season.

While it’s still not mathematically impossible for Leicester to retain the title, to put it politely – it’s not looking overly likely.
Alan Shearer and Ian Wright will no doubt be beside themselves.
