The FA Cup winner with Wimbledon was recently praised for encouraging football fans to talk about their mental health in an advert for mobile company Three which partnered alongside Chelsea star Cole Palmer and the Samaritans Charity.  

He said: "We have got a problem.

"A problem with talking about how we are feeling.

"We do not talk about our emotions, we would rather talk about football, day in and day out.

"But we forget sometimes we need to talk about other things too.

"We are all team mates on the same side.

"I am talking about the millions of fans up and down the country.

"They are all your team mates, and team mates look out for each other, they listen to each other, and that could save a life."

Vinnie Jones in the Country will return to Discovery+ later this year.
