Jamie Vardy causes carnage on Leicester City title parade bus with x-rated rant picked up by microphone

Jamie Vardy caused chaos during Leicester City's title-winning bus parade as microphones picked up his x-rated rant.

Having already secured an immediate return to the Premier League less than a year after suffering relegation, earlier this week Leicester clinched the Championship title with a 3-0 win against Preston North End.

On Saturday Enzo Maresca's side ended their season with a 2-0 home loss to Blackburn Rovers, but defeat did little to dampen spirits at the King Power Stadium.

On Sunday the Leicester squad and staff embarked on a bus parade around the city, celebrating promotion and the title win.

Bus parades are a great opportunity for fans and players to celebrate and let their hair down, and they often give rare glimpses of footballers' personalities off the field.

Manchester City fans will never forget Jack Grealish's antics during the club's treble-winning celebration last year.

Grealish is a larger-than-life character, and the same can be said of Leicester striker Jamie Vardy.

The former England man is one of the most decorated players in Leicester's history, having won the Premier League, FA Cup, Community Shield and now the Championship, and has appeared in the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League.

Despite all of his more prestigious achievements, on Sunday afternoon he was well up for celebrating promotion. Perhaps event a bit too up for it.

Leicester live streamed the parade on the club's official YouTube channel, with cameras capturing events from the top deck of the bus.

What the club media team probably didn't expect was for Vardy to drop a x-rated rant, and for his expletives to be picked up by the microphones and broadcast to thousands of viewers online.

During the parade, Vardy turned to the club's YouTube presenters and said: "Put your f****** phone down you silly c***."

The presenter turned to the camera and looked a little sheepish as he put his phone away.
