Chris Kamara's emotional return to TV as he rejoins Jeff Stelling

Chris Kamara and Jeff Stelling were reunited during Amazon Prime's Boxing Day coverage of the Premier League as the broadcaster made his return to the screen following his battle with speech apraxia.

Kamara and Stelling were one of football's most iconic faces on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday for over two decades, as the former leavings fans in stitches with his hilarious commentary and gaffes while reporting on top flight matches.

However, Kamara stepped down from his role in 2022 after revealing he had been diagnosed with apraxia, a neurological disorder that makes it difficult for him to speak. Months earlier, fans had expressed concern after noticing he was slurring his words.

Kamara has been undergoing treatment for his condition in recent years and has made huge improvements - though recently admitted he once contemplated suicide and felt like a "burden" on his family.

But Kamara had a smile on his face once again as he was united with Stelling for Amazon's Boxing Day broadcast as the pair immediately struck up their irresistible chemistry and banter.

Stelling, who left Sky for talkSport last year, welcomed him back on to present coverage of Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham as Kamara said: "Thank you, Jeff. I have got the best game of the day. When Amazon rang me up I thought they wanted me to deliver parcels, but they sent the game, yes!"

Stelling then asked about the 67-year-old's health and commented that he looked in a great condition, to which his old colleague replied: "I'm great, Jeff. To get that call, to say I was doing this game was the biggest fill-up ever."

Fans couldn't hide their delight after seeing the duo back together again - as well as Kamara looking well on TV for the first time in nearly three years.

One wrote on Twitter: "Thank you so much Amazon for bringing back the legend Chris Kamara," while another said: "Oh this is beyond wonderful! What a man!"

A third said: "Love to see this. Huge part of my Saturday afternoons when watching Soccer Saturday growing up. Great to see him doing so well.
