Liam Livingstone has revealed that Tom Curran weight-shamed him during The Hundred. The Englishman faced Curran, who was playing for the Manchester Originals, during the batter's stint with the Birmingham Phoenix.

About the incident, Livingstone says, "he (Curran) came on to bowl and said, 'Ah, here comes the fat lad.' I was like, 'Okay, I see you.' Livingstone laughed it off at first, but he lacked the ruthlessness to justify labeling him as fat. He further added that it would have been different if it was a "burning topic or a sensitive issue," but this wasn't the case with Curran.'

The Phoenix opener says he has no hard feelings toward Curran, clarifying that "he's not a nasty guy," and that this was simply part of "banter."

This revelation comes just weeks after Livingstone gained attention for allegedly urinating on an Uber driver's car. The 27-year-old, who was suspended by the England Board for this incident, revealed that he and Phoenix teammate Benny Howell decided to "have a piss" on the car while drunk.

In a surprising twist, the same Uber driver appeared at Phoenix's next game, this time with a sign that read, "To the guy that urinated on my car, I forgive you."

Livingstone's outing continued with him scoring a brilliant 71 off just 39 balls, helping Phoenix win the match and advance to the elimination stage.

This, coincidentally, was Phoenix's final game in the tournament, and Livingstone concluded The Hundred with 249 runs in eight innings, including a top score of 102*.

Curran, too, fared decently, picking up SIX wickets in eight matches, with a best of 3/26.

Livingstone concluded the reveal about Curran's nasty sledge by saying that "there's a really funny story behind it all, but I can't share it," leaving readers anticipating more revelations in the future.
