Have I got news for you because Swindon has appeared on the long-running BBC panel show for the second time this year - this time with Lorraine Kelly.

This time round the contestants were laughing with the town and trying to guess a bit of Town trivia that, if you read the Adver recently, will be familiar to you.

Contestants were asked by Lorraine Kelly, hosting, for the reason Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway gave for a recent string of defeats.

While Paul Merton guessed the reason being that the opposition turned up, Matt Chorley correctly identified the alleged cause as ghosts.

The Adver reported Holloway as saying: “I am absolutely devastated [by Clarke’s injury], so I am going to try and cleanse the training ground area because people are telling me it is haunted.

“I think that our training ground is very close to an ancient burial site, so I am going to get my wife to come up and say sorry to all of these people and hopefully we will have a bit more luck.”

It came after Ryan Delaney, Clarke, Paul Glatzel, Harry Smith, Sean McGurk, Rosaire Longelo, Aaron Drinan, Grant Hall, and Kabongo Tshimanga all dealt with injuries which have seen them miss time this season.

The club were dealt a further setback this weekend as they went down 3-2 at home to Morecambe in a League Two fixture at the County Ground.
