Ian Wright was forced to prematurely leave ITV's live FA Cup coverage on Sunday afternoon due to a family bereavement.
However, the broadcaster announced at half-time that Wright had to leave the ground to be with his family following the passing of a loved one. Presenter Pougatch said: "Ian, I'm afraid is not [with us at half-time]. A family bereavement, so he has gone to where he is most needed - with his family."One wrote on Twitter : "Sorry to hear your news. Stay strong."Prior to the televised game there was a nice moment where Wright met his namesake, a fan in the home end.
He has recently branched out into game show hosting, with Moneyball being shown on ITV on Saturday nights. With a replay looming, Argyle then sealed victory as Luke Jephcott fired home to seal a spot in the third round and reward the Green Army fans who had made the long trip up from Devon in the early hours of Sunday morning.
