Following his win on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins alongside Lucy Spraggan and Michaella McCollum, the former Watford striker has opened the door to dabbling in more shows - should the right opportunity come along.
Since retiring from football in early 2024, Deeney has taken on punditry and broadcasting roles while also commentating on various Birmingham City games, one of his former clubs.
Born on the outskirts of Birmingham himself, he has had bumps in the road throughout his life and has had to call on his loved ones to help overcome them.

00:00Hiya, chaps. Nice to see you again.
00:02Hi, Phil.
00:03I see you've got a rose between two thorns.
00:17Afternoon, gentlemen. You all right?
00:19How are we? All right. What are you doing here?
00:23Right, guys, what does football mean to you?
00:26It brings us all together. It's like a family.
00:28We get to know everybody.
00:29My wife will say to me, why do you want to go down the Blues
00:32when the game's on the telly?
00:34And I'll say, it's not the same, you know?
00:36You come down here and, I mean, like,
00:38everybody backs everybody else up.
00:40It's such a joy to be a part of and a long way to continue.
00:44That's my scarf that I donated to the club.
00:46That's been around you on there? Oh, yes.
00:48It's not just about the game, though, is it?
00:50It's like your own squad and you're all here,
00:52obviously, helping each other out.
00:53We all come from different backgrounds.
00:55We support each other.
00:56It's all about teamwork.
00:57You know, you can't have seven strikers in a football team.
01:00I can always offload, you know, and have a chat.
01:02Like, what is it you get to chat about?
01:04You know, the football, what's happening in the world,
01:07energy costs.
01:08Now, as we're talking about cost of living,
01:10have any of you got any of these smart meters at home?
01:12I've got a smart meter and you can definitely see
01:15the savings that you can make on it.
01:17It's a way of monitoring what you're spending, isn't it?
01:19So, can you see it going up on the smart meter display?
01:22Yeah, yeah, we've got a prominent position in the living room.
01:25We all know cost of living is going up
01:27and there's a lot of things that are totally out of your control.
01:30The smart meter actually does give you some control.
01:33I can definitely see the benefits of it
01:35and I think everybody should get one.
01:38What does a squad mean to you?
01:40I think what we're so good at as a community,
01:42fans, players, staff all together is we embrace the graft.
01:46It kind of reminds you what it was like
01:49and, you know, the hardships you have to go through
01:51and they help you get out of it ultimately
01:53and make you become who you are today.
01:55And, of course, having amazing fans like yourselves
01:57reminds us how important a squad really is to have around.
