Joe Lycett has poked fun at Wayne Lineker’s bizarre Instagram post in search of a partner.

Lineker, the younger brother of Match of the Day host Gary Lineker, previously claimed his loved ones are pressuring him to search for love.

“My family have decided I need a girlfriend for my own sanity and health,” he wrote on Instagram on Tuesday night.

The 58-year-old then set out a bizarre list of criteria, including that the lucky lady must enjoy flying business class, be prepared to give up her career and must like Money Heist on Netflix.

This post is purely tongue in cheek banter..🧡 So, my family have decided I need a girlfriend for my own sanity and health...so here’s my criteria 😅 Ok - Let’s start this off like I’m normal: Strong nice loving personality ✅ Now to more important things: You must like older men but only me...You have to be a worldie and above 30 (Ok 28 29 could work) but not my age as that would just look weird 🤷‍♂️ you must like to travel and to fly business class and stay in incredible hotels. Be prepared to give up your career or job or at least be able to work from a laptop on a tropical beach somewhere. You will need to spend the summer in ibiza and the winter in Dubai with 2 weeks in Uk for Christmas and new year with the families and holidays to the Maldives...No baggage as mine are all grown up. A dog is acceptable but will need a passport. You must be able to cook as I love cooking, especially Waitrose ready made meals. You also don’t need to be verified I can sort that for you.. house music and R&B lovers only. No heavy rock or pop music. You must like Netflix especially money heist and also real crime. No chick flicks watch them with your mates. You need to be confident enough to be able to go to the front of the queue in nightclubs and accept a table and free drinks from the owners. You will need a driving license to share a Bentley and a Lamborghini Jeep (pending) ..you must never have shared a teeth whitening post!! I’m not on any dating sites you shouldn’t be too. I’m Not on only fans so you shouldn’t be too . You must love the gym, health food and have body definition as I will have soon. Accept and love my children and grandchildren and realise no more kids for me.. (never say never though) you must be able to let my PA @davehodges10 book all yours and our flights and purchase items online for you. You just need to send a link to him ..You must be able to accept my friends even @tonytrumanibiza as I will accept yours ... accept I have to reply to girls DMs not just guys... One last thing.

Now, Lycett has posted a selfie parodying Lineker's list of stipulations.

Starting off “normal,” Lycett asked for a “Strong nice loving personality,” before moving on to “more important things”.

“Must like omelette. Must enjoy egg omelette. Must like scrambled egg. Must like cake with egg in it. Must like egg fried rice (but not other rice). Must like Cadbury creme egg. Must like fried egg,” he wrote.

“Must like frittata made with egg. Must like those shakshukas you get in posh coffee shops (but only if made with egg). Must like scotch egg. Must like custard (if it is egg custard). Must be Alan Sugar. Must like boiled egg.”

Lineker’s list was met with bewilderment on social media, with one Twitter user writing: “Has Wayne Lineker been hacked or is he just being himself? Hard to say.”

Another wrote: “The sad thing is he will be inundated with girls offering themselves.

“This is why I am trying to parent my teenage girl to have high self esteem and be a strong, confident and independent woman. Same for my son too.”

A third tweeted: “Good luck girls."
