'You don't have to go and take the Qatari money...': Gary Neville squirms in the Have I Got News For You hotseat as he is grilled by Ian Hislop over decision to commentate for state-owned beIN Sports, but Jamie Carragher springs to his defence

Gary Neville was left to squirm his way through hosting Have I Got News For You as the former Manchester United and England defender was grilled on his decision to work for state-owned broadcaster beIN Sports at the World Cup.

Neville, anchoring the BBC news show for the first time, was backed into a corner to defend his 'reputation' as the topic of him accepting money from a Qatari broadcaster was brought up.

Qatar's human rights record has been heavily scrutinised in the years since they were awarded the World Cup by FIFA - with human rights groups furious at the lack of answers over deaths of migrant workers.
