It's one of life's great anomalies that wealthy celebrities - who can well afford the finer things in life - are the exact people who are usually given freebies at some award ceremony or another.





As reported by ​Sports Joe, another perk of being famous is you're revered by millions and, for those who were well known footballers, once your brilliant football career ends, you can then slip into an almost equally wonderful job as a pundit.

But of course, it's not all sweetness and light being in the public eye, as can be witnessed in the following exchange between MBE recipient - and cricket commentator - Jonathan Agnew and a man he's been 'corresponding' with for the past decade or so:

Can I ask the charming individual who for 10 years has sent me a soiled piece of toilet paper every Test now address the envelope correctly? — Jonathan Agnew (@Aggerscricket) December 31, 2016

Spotting the tweet, Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker felt compelled to interject:

@Aggerscricket @brianmoore666 let me guess; sent from a Bath postcode? — Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) December 31, 2016





​​

​​

​​As if this wasn't already intriguing enough, a certain Pier Morgan was then dragged into the conversation:

@GaryLineker @brianmoore666 anyone know a high profile, investigative journalist with impeccable credentials to track our man? @piersmorgan — Jonathan Agnew (@Aggerscricket) December 31, 2016

Before things took yet another turn when Mr. Lineker revealed he's in fact been receiving the packages EVERY month for a good while:





@GaryLineker @Aggerscricket @brianmoore666 on a positive note, at least it shows my bowel movements are regular.. — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 31, 2016

Tying things together - to an extent - the Match of the Day host then postured a guess as to why he's been getting the packages in the first place:

@piersmorgan @Aggerscricket @brianmoore666 haha. Always thought it was my punishment for Italia 90. Shat on loo roll. — Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) December 31, 2016

So overall, here's what we know:





The culprit, whoever it may be, has access to a post box in Bath and clearly has some kind of issue with Lineker and Agnew.





This story looks set to run and run but for now, if you're a former athlete who now works for the BBC and you receive some suspect packages, it's perhaps best to discard them immediately.
