And the ex-Liverpool and Tottenham man appeared to be loving life as he showed off his famous moves when the song really kicked in.

Crouch, who performed the robot dance move several times while celebrating goals during his career, is a regular at the Isle of Wight Festival and has stated his love for the event in the past.

Reacting afterwards, Crouch said: "Well that escalated. Thank you @KasabianHQ. Thank you @IsleOfWightFest."

While one social media user said: "This is top tier Crouchy."

And another added: "Can't believe you didn't pull out the robot!!"

He is also good friends with Serge Pizzorno - the guitarist, vocalist and songwriter of Kasabian.

Pizzorno took over as lead singer from frontman Tom Meighan in 2020.

It came just 24 hours before Meighan pleaded guilty to assaulting his fiancee Vikki Ager.

But Kasabian have kept going without their former singer.

And Pizzorno has spoken in the past about his friendship with Crouch.

Discussing the possibility of Crouchy getting on stage with Kasabian back in 2019, Pizzorno told : "Bear in mind that we've talked about this - about Crouchy learning the bass and one day coming on stage.

"But then, have you seen that Petr Cech thing he's done? I saw that and just had a shudder.

"It's like me and Pete going 'yeah it's gonna be amazing' and everyone going 'oh boys!'."

When pressed on whether Crouchy could play the maracas instead, the Kasabian rockstar added: "I think that might be a better move than an actual instrument!"
