According to The Sun, Stephen's tirade caused the game to be held up for eight minutes with the referee refusing to continue until the actor left the touchline. He reportedly called the referee a 'f***ing Teletubby' and a 'fat useless t**t' and also asked him if he had been bullied at school.

The Boiling Point star later apologised for his rant after the local FA launched an investigation into his behaviour. Witnesses said Stephen - who was there to watch his nephew play for Barrow Town against Heather St John's Reserves last Saturday - snapped for no reason.

Stephen Graham is reportedly facing an FA probe after a foul-mouthed rant at a football match. The Line Of Duty star, 51, is said to have hurled nasty insults at non-league referee David Kennedy at Saturday's game at at Barrow Town in Leicestershire. He reportedly accused the referee of being on a 'power trip' and is also said to have made a crude reference to a sex act.
It's also claimed Stephen boasted about being famous, saying: 'Google me, I'm on Netflix.'. A source said: 'His behaviour was absolutely disgusting. The referee was so horrified, along with everyone else. 'He, rightly, refused to continue with the match until Graham left. Eventually he agreed to go and sit in the bar so the game could continue.'.
