Thierry's getting a taste for the limelight! Henry gets in training on Graham Norton chat show for new career as TV pundit



After an impressive start in front of the TV cameras, Thierry Henry's back again, but this time as a guest on the BBC's Graham Norton show.

With big sports channels battling to sign him as a regular football pundit, ex-Arsenal striker Henry will no doubt boost competition for his services when he appears on the Friday night show.

All change: Henry will turn to a career in television after his final season in the MLS with New York Red Bulls



Appearing alongside Sir Kenneth Brannagh, Keira Knightley and Lee Mack, Henry appears animated and cracks jokes with his fellow celebrities, proving he has the personality to match his football skills.

The competition for Henry - who will turn to a career in TV after his final season in Major League Soccer with New York Red Bulls - is hotting up and he will be able to command as much as £8,000 per show, equalling Alan Shearer's current wage for Match of the Day.

With interest from BT Sport and Al Jazeera, Henry is in understandably in no rush to make a decision with so many offers on the table.

He has however, in the past few days, ruled out a move to Sky Sports rejecting an offer to become a pundit with immediate effect.
