Richard Keys, 68, 'to move in with 37-year-old friend of his daughter upon UK return'

Richard Keys is returning to the UK alongside Andy Gray.

The duo left the country in 2013 to join beIN Sports, two years after being dismissed by Sky due to sexist remarks.

They have hosted Premier League and Champions League coverage, but their tenure with the network is nearing its conclusion.

As reported by The Telegraph, both will come back to the UK once their contracts conclude this summer.

Keys, 68, and Gray, 70, have also provided World Cup coverage for beIN Sports.

A representative for Keys informed The Sun: 'Richard decided several months ago that, after 13 excellent years, it was time for him and Andy to depart from beIN.

'Following that decision, it was mutually agreed his final broadcasts for the channel would take place in May this year.'

This exit follows two years after Keys' marriage to Lucie Rose.

They initially met after Keys relocated to the Middle East, and he has since refuted claims that Lucie was a friend of his daughter.

Lucie, who is 32 years younger than Keys, became involved in a secret relationship with the presenter.

His former wife Julia told The Sun that the 2016 affair, which ended their 36-year marriage, left their family 'devastated'.

Julia had supported him when he resigned from Sky Sports in 2011, following his exposure for making offensive comments about women, including match official Sian Massey.

Keys and Lucie married in a modest £20,000 ceremony in Devon.

Before the wedding, he told The Sun: 'I'm a very fortunate man, though feeling somewhat nervous.

'We're traveling to Canada for our honeymoon, which is a bit unconventional. Then it's back to work for both of us in August, and for me, the start of the football season.

'Some may think I'm a bit old for this now, but I don't mind.'
