Jason Manford’s kitchen CCTV footage will have your jaw on the floor.
The comedian amazed fans when he accidentally captured an incredible trick shot.
While he’s absolutely killing it in the fields of comedy and presenting, if Jason ever needs a back-up, we’re sure a career in football might prove successful.
Sharing the shocking video clip, the former Starstruck judge, 42, wrote on social media: ‘Just got home and what a SHOT! Proper double take 😂’
The video in question showed him casually strolling around the island in his kitchen and kicking a child’s bouncy toy around with his feet.
Jason mindlessly kicked the ball behind him and, surprisingly, it bounced off the fridge and landed perfectly in the sink!

The Masked Singer star turned around and appeared stunned at his own skills.
It’s also a good job the moment was caught on CCTV, as no one else noticed it when it happened, given that his child was running around before being scooped into his wife’s arms.
Taking to the comments, Jason’s followers were full of both praise and dad jokes.
‘He shoots… he scores! The kids go wild, another win for Team Manford 🔥🔥🔥’, one wrote.
‘No football in the house!’, joked another.
‘Bet you can’t do it again 😂😂’, another mocked.
‘But nobody else saw it!! 😂😂 i bet you rushed everybody to the cctv? “Look look look ” lol’, one added.

The comic rose to fame on panel shows and has since bagged major hosting gigs, such as The Royal Variety Performance (Picture: Ken McKay/ITV/Shutterstock)
Jason rose to fame as a team captain on the Channel 4 panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats, where he appeared from 2007 until 2010.
He’s since presented numerous shows for the BBC and ITV, including A Question of Sport, Children in Need, and The One Show.
Never a one-trick pony, Jason has also starred in numerous stage musicals in the West End and across the UK such as Sweeney Todd, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Guys and Dolls, and The Wizard of Oz.
In 2020, Jason came in second place as the Hedgehog on The Masked Singer, having amazed everyone with his vocal abilities.
That same year, he hosted The Royal Variety Performance.
With Jason’s career having only gone from strength to strength over recent years, it’s no surprise his name has been thrown into the mix for some major jobs.

However, if you were counting on seeing him present This Morning following exits from Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, think again.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk about filling the gap, he ruled himself out as he has other priorities.
‘I don’t know if I’d be up for getting up early every day to be perfectly honest,’ Jason said.
‘I’m quite a night owl. It doesn’t quite fit in with stand-up, which involves working in the evenings.
‘Maybe I would have done it 20 years ago when I was a bit younger and could burn the candle at both ends.
‘I definitely need a nice sleep, and not early starts.’
