Jamie Vardy left Harry Souttar red-faced when the Foxes striker crashed his teammate’s interview with Socceroos great Mark Schwarzer.
Souttar, 24, shone for Australia at last year’s World Cup in Qatar, with his performances for Graham Arnold’s side drawing the attention of a number of Premier League clubs.
Leicester dived for the tall defender to win him from Stoke City for $26 million in the January transfer window, with Souttar’s task now being to stave off the threat of relegation for the East Midlanders.
And during a sit-down interview with Optus Sport, Scottish-born Souttar was interrupted by veteran striker Vardy, who jokingly questioned his team-mate’s nationality.
‘Ah, g’day mate,’ you heard him shout from afar. ‘Put another shrimp on the barbie! He’s not even Australian!’

Souttar swore allegiance to the Socceroos in 2019, winning 15 caps for his country.
He is one of a number of Scottish-born footballers to represent Australia, with Jason Cummings and Martin Boyle also playing for Arnold’s side.
The Socceroos boss revealed earlier this month the brutal way he convinces players to transfer from Scotland to Australia – by highlighting the Tartan Army’s abysmal qualifying record.
“It’s easy for me to get those players to come and play,” he told the Fired in the morning podcast.
“I’m just saying ‘listen, the Socceroos have qualified for the last five World Cups – when was the last one Scotland qualified for?”‘

The 59-year-old added that he won’t hesitate to target other Scottish-born stars, although he kept his cards close to his chest when pressed to reveal names.
“I can’t tell you who they are or Steve Clarke will run and tie them up right away,” he said.
“Most of Scotland would have been watching us [at the World Cup] because half of our players are from Scotland. So I can imagine that we had a lot of support there.’
