It came just 24 hours after O\u2019Hara, alongside co-host Jason Cundy, went viral for their antics after Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s defeat against Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues did well to come from behind on two occasions, but ultimately collapsed late on, with PSG establishing a three-goal advantage heading into Tuesday\u2019s second leg. Yet O\u2019Hara was unable to give his Chelsea-supporting co-host a grilling, as he had to pull out of the show through illness.<\/p>\n<p>Issuing an update on social media, he wrote: \u201cThe one time I get to go at Cundy I\u2019ve got food poisoning, sorry guys I can\u2019t be on tonight I tried getting through it but it wasn\u2019t a pretty sight for the people at Talksport towers, hopefully back in tomorrow, Up the Chels!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before adding: \u201cWorth being ill just to make Cundy have to come in straight after Chelsea get battered,\u201d in response to a video of Cundy fuming about Chelsea\u2019s result.<\/p>\n<p>Cundy, who wasn\u2019t originally scheduled to feature on the show, rushed into talkSPORT HQ to give his verdict. But the ex-pro turned broadcaster admitted he thought it was a prank when told O\u2019Hara wasn\u2019t feeling well.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the show, this time without the Ange mask, Cundy said: \u201cOh my gosh, I thought it was a joke. I came off air at Stamford Bridge after the game, I\u2019ve got missed calls off Ryan he says \u2018O\u2019Hara is ill, can you come in.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just like \u2018yeah you want to poke fun at me, what\u2019s the story because he\u2019s not ill is he?\u2019 But I know he is now, he sent a photograph, I messaged him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before going on to rant about the Chelsea defeat: \u201cHow have we lost that game, I am sick. It was almost the reverse of Spurs, they had a stinker for 15 minutes but got themselves back in it. We actually were in the game until the last 15 minutes and throw it away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamie O\u2019Hara was forced to pull out of talkSPORT\u2019s Sports Bar show on Wednesday night with suspected food&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471619,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1669,168557,398,168556,218,3628,47401,101,109760,8287,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-471618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-champions-league","tag-champions-league-news","tag-chelsea-fc","tag-chelsea-vs-psg","tag-football","tag-football-news","tag-jamie-ohara","tag-sports","tag-talksport","tag-tottenham-hotspur-fc","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471618\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
