Alan Pardew and DJ Majestic are talkSPORT’s One Direction and the double act you didn’t know you needed

talkSPORT has a new double act in town ready to take over after being chucked together like 'One Direction'.

Former Newcastle, Crystal Palace and West Ham boss Alan Pardew and DJ Majestic will host a new show every Sunday from 6pm to 9:30pm when the Premier League begins.

The show — called 'Final Word with Maj and Pards' — will give fans the chance to phone up and discuss all the big talking points from the games that weekend.

It is part of a huge shake-up at talkSPORT ahead of the new season, with legendary broadcaster Jeff Stelling to become the new Sports Breakfast show host from December.

Both Pardew and Tottenham fan Majestic — real name Kevin Christie — are no strangers to talkSPORT listeners.

The ex-West Ham and Charlton boss often lends his expertise on various shows, while Majestic is a regular contributor on the Transfer Insiders with Ade Oladipo and Rory Jennings.

But few would have put the two together, with Majestic, who scored a number one hit in 2021 with his remix to Boney M.'s 'Rasputin', pointing out the pair hadn't met before.

«We've been put together, almost like [boy band] One Direction,» joked Majestic who splits his time between England, Majorca and Ibiza.

A laughing Pardew quickly added: «We definitely didn't meet in Ibiza, I just want to let you know — let's kill that rumour before it starts!»

Pardew, who was most recently manager of Greek side Aris, continued: «I know of Maj because of my two daughters, I have a 26-year-old and a 23-year-old — both big music fans.

»I do believe that one of them is actually going to Ibiza shortly! So Maj is in their world, it's great. They're more excited about Maj than they are at anything I could possibly say.

«That's what I love about the fact talkSPORT has put us
