BOBBY ZAMORA has caught a record-breaking carp while filming his new TV show.
The former England striker, 44, has turned to angling post-retirement.
Zamora has proven to be pretty handy at his new profession, linking up with Ali Hamidi for the show Underwater Grand Fishing Adventure on ITV.
Posting on his Instagram account, Hamidi revealed a picture of Zamora with his latest huge catch.
The TV star wrote: “BREAKING NEWS – BOBBY ZAMORA has just MADE UK CARP FISHING & UNDERWATER CARP FISHING HISTORY (AGAIN) at UK legendary water Grenville.
“A carp that hasn’t been caught for 18 MONTHS – and just got iSCREAMED & PAELLA-FIED on OMC Boilies, LOCK HOOK and of course the MAGIC WAND – all IN FRONT of the UNDERWATER CAMERA’S! Data don’t lie baby!

“We are personally overwhelmed by what has just happened on the carp fishing front here!
“It was written in the (star emoji) & (moon emoji). ZAMO you f***ing beauty!”
Zamora and Hamidi have been filming at the Grenville Syndicate in Cambridgeshire.
The former footballer’s catch will be all the more satisfying, given that he and Hamidi endured a poor session at Grenville during the last season of their TV show.

The weight of Zamora’s catch has not yet been revealed.
But it has surpassed his previous 52lb 6oz best.
In addition to fishing, Zamora has also worked as a coach.
Last October the former Tottenham and West Ham star took on a new role as striker coach at Brighton.
Upon taking the job, Zamora said: “I’m pleased to be back to help the strikers to achieve their goals, working on all elements of football on and off the pitch.
“Hopefully I can play a part in helping the club achieve further success.”
