Watch ex-Premier League star O’Hara tell love interest he is ‘famous soccer player in England’ after lying about job

FORMER Premier League star Jamie O’Hara was forced to tell a love interest he is a “famous soccer player in England” after lying about his job.

The moment came on a new reality TV dating show called ‘Love Undercover’.

The programme shows former and current football stars in Los Angeles attempting to find love.

O’Hara, 37, and former Liverpool star Ryan Babel, 37, are among the names, with Charlton defender Lloyd Jones, 25, also involved.

And in an amazing twist, all the footballers have concealed their identities from potential partners.

But O’Hara decided to confess his true self after striking up a romance with one lucky lady.

The talkSPORT pundit admitted he was “scared” before revealing to the woman that he is a “famous soccer player in England.”

O’Hara had previously been living a double life as an “ad salesman” on the show.

And he also added that he had a “huge radio show.”

O’Hara continued as the woman reacted by wiping away tears: “I didn’t want to lie to you but we had to.

“Because I’ve come here for a reason to find love with someone that doesn’t know who I am.”

Fans gently teased O’Hara over the brilliant moment.

One said: “Legend of the game.”

Another declared: “‘Have you ever heard of Billericay?’”

One noted: “He never said he was one of the best but everyone knows who he is.”

Another added: “The LeBron James of soccer.”

O’Hara started his pro career with Tottenham in 2005 and played 56 times.

He also took in spells at Chesterfield, Millwall, Portsmouth and Wolves before joining the latter permanently in 2011.

O’Hara then took in spells at Blackpool, Fulham and Gillingham before ending his career at non-league Billericay Town in 2020.
