JAMES BUCKLEY and Joe Hart are anything but football friends.
The Inbetweeners star, who played Jay Cartwright in the popular English comedy series, has revealed he has declared WAR on the Celtic hero – for damaging his podcast set.
Buckley, 37, is now making a name for himself away from acting and in the world of YouTube and podcasting with his Scottish wife Claire.
Two podcasts they have started together include In Sickness and in Health, and At Home With The Buckleys.
And in their most recent episode of the latter, the pair took aim at Hart for his antics while filming his own podcast Footballers Unfiltered – in the same studio as the Buckleys.
They now share a set down south and have locked horns in recent weeks over the retired goalkeeper’s escapades.
Back in May the couple jokingly slammed the former Celtic stopper for ‘wrecking’ their set while filming his own show.
Since then they have both continuously aimed digs at Hart for the incident on various episodes, demanding an apology for the damage.
And this week, Hart finally delivered.
Taking to social media, he posted a video saying sorry for the damage he caused but couldn’t resist a parting shot in the clip – as he BOOTED a stuffed teddy of Jay from the Inbetweeners.
And that was the last straw for the actor turned podcaster as he took aim at the retired goalie – albeit tongue in cheek – with a message in their latest show.
Addressing the video of Hart, he said: “We’re at war by the way. Now we share a studio space with the goalkeeper Joe Hart.
“Is he still playing?”
Claire then chimed in and had the podcast crew in hysterics with her comment, saying: “Surely not. Not at that age!”
James continued: “He did break our set a little bit. We called him out on it and he sent us a little video – I think it’s an apology video.
“It’s supposed to be an apology video and he picks up our little Jay doll there and boots it across the room very hard and very aggressively.
“I just thought ‘let’s go’ and I’ll tell you something Joe Hart, if you kicked like that when you were at Man City then Pep (Guardiola) might not have dropped you.
“War has been declared and we will keep you updated.

“We’re going to brainstorm and put some thought and money into this.”
“Maybe just as a joke we arrange someone to tie him up and throw him into the back of a van or something like that…just as a joke.”
