Wayne Lineker is falsely accused of being a 'pedo' by 12,000-strong crowd at Crouchfest... with Ocean Beach club owner refusing to answer questions on stage as he is targeted by false slurs

Wayne Lineker found himself falsely accused of being a 'pedo' during an appearance at Crouchfest, with the Ocean Beach owner abused by the 12,000-strong crowd at Wembley Arena.

Lineker was brought on stage as one of the live guests during the event, which was a live podcast recording in the style of a festival for the hugely popular 'That Peter Crouch Podcast'.

Lineker, who has previously been trolled online with the false slurs, looked suitably unimpressed when he was loudly abused when he emerged on stage.

'Wayne, I want to have a chat,' Crouch said to the 61-year-old, trying not to acknowledge the crowd noise.
