• Gray sacked from Sky for making off-camera sexist comments
• Some BT viewers threatened to cancel their subscriptions

Andy Gray’s return to co-commentary for the first time since losing his Sky job after making off-camera sexist comments in 2011 earned BT Sport a mixed reception.

Gray, who has worked alongside former colleague Richard Keys on TalkSport and in Doha since the row, made a one-off appearance at Stevenage – prompting some viewers to threaten to cancel their subscriptions over BT’s apparent endorsement of sexist views.

@BTsport ended the night by tweeting about its inaugural BT Sport Action Woman of the Year award – won by the mountain biker Rachel Atherton.
