Asked about how high the bar is for the talent on his show, he replied: “The bar’s quite high.”
Carragher added: “So there’s no Gary Neville?” Becks replied: “No.”
The ex England skipper added that his very famous pals from Hollywood will join him.
“There’s a couple of people lined up already.”
Carragher said he would be better suited taking Neville to less glamorous fixtures in campaigns like the EFL Cup.
Becks admitted: “Yeah. I might struggle to be fair, I might have to take Gaz to that one.“
