UEFA stop Frank Skinner and David Baddiel from singing Three Lions at Wembley

UEFA have reportedly stopped Frank Skinner and David Baddiel from singing Three Lions before the Euro 2020 final as it is too ‘partisan’ and ‘unfair’ on the Italians. 

The comedian’s were the masterminds behind the Three Lions football anthem – which was penned 25 years ago and has been chanted throughout the tournament.   

The duo had been asked to perform their hit song ahead of kick-off on Sunday but UEFA have since insisted it would be unfair on England’s opponents Italy.

While appearing on the TV show The Last Leg, Skinner was frustrated on with the decision.

He even reminded viewers that Andrea Bocelli sang Nessun Dormua at the opening ceremony – which saw Italy kick-off the tournament against Turkey. 

Nevertheless, Skinner and Baddiel were seen singing their song from the stands as they cheered on England as they faced Denmark to fight for a place in the Euro 2020 final. 

The pair were sat in the stands with their sons, Buzz, nine, and Ezra, 17. Skinner was seen wearing a blue rain coat that he paired with a matching baseball cap, while Baddiel wore a black hoodie and a white hat.

Three Lions was originally written as the England’s anthem for UEFA Euro 1996, and Skinner and Baddiel co-wrote and performed the song alongside The Lightning Seeds.

The comedy duo then went on to re-record the track with new lyrics for the 1998 World Cup.

Skinner and Baddiel’s song enjoyed a roaring comeback during the 2018 World Cup, in which England got to the semi-finals.

During tournament, it became the first song in UK history to have four spells at No 1 with the same line-up.
