Wayne Lineker, who is the brother of footballing pundit Gary Lineker, was falsely branded a “paedo” by members of the crowd when he appeared at Crouchfest last night.<\/p>\n

In front of a boisterous 12,000-strong audience, the Ocean Beach owner was brought on stage as a guest, which was a live recording for the hugely popular That Peter Crouch Podcast.<\/p>\n

However, things soon turned ugly as Wayne, 61, quickly became the focus of unwarranted abuse, with slurs against him growing louder by the second.<\/p>\n

Attempting to deafen the noise, former professional footballer Peter asked: “Wayne, I want to have a chat.”<\/p>\n

Peter then asked Wayne about his best experiences with footballers who have attended his club in Ibiza, with Manchester City star Jack Grealish chosen as his favourite visitor.<\/p>\n

But the atmosphere inside the arena continued to intensify, with Wayne avoiding answering any further questions on stage during the painfully awkward segment.<\/p>\n

Today, Wayne took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the incident with his 867,000 followers on the platform.<\/p>\n

“I know I’m usually a bit of a joker on social media but today doesn’t feel so fun!” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“Sooo I was invited by my good friend Peter Crouch and Chris Stark to be a guest on their iconic event Crouchfest at Wembley Arena last night… As you can imagine I was blown away by the invitation to join them onstage and was so excited to be part of it!<\/p>\n

“What should have been a bit of fun turned into what I can only describe as a scene of Mob Mentality against me, thousands of people in unison calling me a ‘paedo’ to be exact!<\/p>\n
