Three Lions roar back in to the charts

- BY KAREN ROCKETT

COMIC duo David Baddiel and Frank Skinner are to release Three Lions again – for the seventh time.

The reissue for the European Championsh­ips will mark the 25th anniversar­y of the original song, recorded with the Lightning Seeds, reaching No1.

Skinner revealed the rerelease on BBC One’s Graham Norton Show, and said: “We’ve milked it.”

He added: “Last summer I received a Guinness Book of Records package with two framed certificat­es.

“The first was for being No1 four times and the next was for the biggest drop in the same week. We fell 96 places in 2018.”

A different version to the original also hit No1 on its release for the 1998 World Cup. It was put out again in 2002 and 2006.
