Gary Lineker's brother joins cast of 'The Only Way Is Essex'

Gary Lineker's brother Wayne has reportedly become the latest cast member of ITV2 reality show The Only Way Is Essex.

The sibling of the former England international is believed to have joined the series with the intention of opening up a new bar in Essex to replace Sugar Hut owner Mick Norcross's role on the show.

The 50-year-old will appear in the first episode of the new series acting as a judge for a bikini babe contest in Marbella, according to the Daily Star.

Wayne, who created a pub chain in holiday resorts, was jailed in 2006 for two-and-a-half years for tax fraud.
