Death of Liverpool player Jota announced
Ben shared his sadness as he announced the death of Liverpool player and Portuguese international Diogo Jota, 28, and his footballer brother André Silva, 26.
“There’s just one breaking news story that has literally just broken that we’re going to bring you,” Ben shared. “It’s really sad news.”
He then added: “Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has died in a car crash aged just 28. He was with his brother André Silva in the accident. It’s really shocking as he’s only just recently got married and he’s the father of three young children as well.”
