New Paddy Power series sees Redknapp chance his arm as documentary maker to learn about the origins of one of the worst things to happen to football

Footballer-turned-pundit, Jamie Redknapp, is now stepping into the world of hard-hitting documentaries to tackle one of the biggest issues in the modern-day game…the half-and-half scarf.

Paddy Power’s Jamie Redknapp Investigates is a new series that will see the former Liverpool and Spurs legend get to the bottom of the things that really annoy football fans about the modern game.

Episode one sees Redknapp get to the bottom of half-and-half scarves – the ghastly neckwear issue, described by fans he interviews as “Filth”, “Foul” and “So sh*t”.

In the first of a three part series – with episodes two and three released over the fortnight – Redknapp reveals the industry is now worth “over half a billion pounds” and tracks down the inventor of the half-and-half scarf.

The inventor, Brian, explains that the inspiration behind joining two separate scarves together was his own divorce, after his wife cut everything he owned in half.

Sewing his Arsenal and Holland neckwear together, Brian created the world’s first half-and-half scarf – which rather unfortunately reads “Arse land”.

But, at what cost? “Half-and-half scarves have a very short shelf life,” says Redknapp’s next interviewee – environmental activist, Lisa.

Discarded items can unfortunately find their way into nature, with Lisa reporting sightings of a baboon wearing a scarf featuring Tony Pulis at one end Sean Dyche at the other. Although Lisa does say that there aren’t health implications for the animals, they “just look really stupid”.

Redknapp then returns to see Brian once more as he’s told there’s a gift waiting for him. And, after showing off his diversified portfolio (including Manchester United and Liverpool half-and-half facemasks), the inventor gives the former England international his present.

Unfortunately, the Redknapp edition scarf features Harry at one end but the wrong Jamie at the other – Jamie Vardy.

Episode two of Paddy Power’s Jamie Redknapp Investigates, released next Friday, will see Jamie taking on Twitter trolls.

Spokesman Paddy Power said: “Forget diving, dodgy VAR calls and people leaving early – half-and-half scarves are the biggest disgrace in football right now. So, we put our best man on the case to investigate and uncover the ugly truth about this scourge of modern football that we know annoys all proper football fans across the country.

“Because there are some things that just don’t look right together, like pasta and ketchup or Tottenham and trophies.”

London, July 2026 — While most affiliate networks are busy refreshing their pitch decks, HELL Partners is doing what it always does: moving on its own terms. The brand is officially heading to IGB Live 2026, one of the most influential iGaming gatherings on the calendar, and the team is bringing more than business cards.

IGB Live takes place at ExCeL London, and HELL Partners will be set up at Booth L40

— not hard to find, even harder to ignore.

What HELL Partners actually brings to the table

For those still getting acquainted with the brand: HELL Partners operates a portfolio of in-house iGaming products with conversion rates that speak before anyone in the room does. There are no restrictions on traffic sources — affiliates run what works, full stop. And with a GEO pool spanning Tier 1 through Tier 3 markets, the network offers the kind of scale that keeps serious webmasters interested long-term. Besides, there’s a new brand coming soon, further expanding the opportunities.

Clean terms, open sources, full creative control. The infrastructure is built to perform—and let partners do the same.

What’s waiting at the stand

HELL Partners isn’t flying to London to shake hands and collect LinkedIn connections. The managers on-site will be ready to sit down, open the laptop, and structure a deal worth talking about — tailored, specific, and built around your traffic.

Also at the stand: a Prada giveaway. Three items. Real ones. The mechanics are simple — follow HELL Partners on Instagram and Telegram, stop by Stand L40, and get entered. The kind of brand energy that makes sense when you think about who HELL Partners is building this for.

And one more thing making the trip to London: an exclusive merch collection, designed specifically for IGB Live. Not a reprint, not leftovers — something made for this exact moment. Come see it at the stand.

The VIP event — for the VIP Inner Circle

Beyond the floor, HELL Partners is hosting a closed evening for top partners and industry voices. An exclusive private screening of The Devil Wears Prada 2, complete with a session from a film critic who actually knows what they’re talking about. Details are confirmed for those already in the circle — and for those who aren’t yet, a conversation at the stand is the right place to start.

It’s the kind of move that says: HELL Partners treats its partners the way the industry should have been treating them all along.
