HARRY KANE left Jamie Carragher red-faced after refusing “to lie on national TV” over their friendship.
Honest ‘Arry went from skippering England to kippering the pundit in an amusing interview live on CBS Sports.

CBS presenter Kate Abdo opened up by asking Kane: “Jamie said earlier this week that he called you and spoke to you. Is that true or false?”
The grinning goal-getter replied: “Err, that is false.”
