FANS have been left cringing at David Jones’ joke to Ben Mee on Sky Sports.
The presenter hosted the Monday Night Football show covering Liverpool’s 6-1 trashing of Leeds at Elland Road.
He was joined in the studio by Jamie Carragher and Brentford star Mee.
However, Jones could not resist making a jokey pun at the defender’s name as he said: “I am going to put you on the spot now Ben.
“From Mee to you.
“Knowing Mee, knowing you.”

However, fans were left less than impressed as they cringed on social media.
One viewer tweeted: “Dave Jones Is such a cringe bloke.”
