FANS reckon Jude Bellingham joined in a rude chant about Alan Shearer as he cheered on brother Jobe.

The Real Madrid midfielder certainly showed plenty of Christmas spirit as he backed Jobe's Sunderland at Shearer's old club Blackburn in a Championship promotion battle.

And many supporters were convinced the smiling England hero jokingly sung along when visiting fans taunted the Toon legend and BBC pundit, who remains the Premier League's all-time top goalscorer.

Bellingham, 21, was captured appearing to playfully mutter some of a chant that normally includes the wholesome words "he wears a magic hat".

The new variant - adapted unseasonally by Sunderland supporters - included: "Shearer is a w****r".

Bellingham's head was seen swaying in time to the song as he looked to be having fun on his Christmas break - with Real out of action until January 6.

And Sunderland fans seemed delighted by his support for Jobe - in whatever way it came.

One replied to a clip of the incident by revealing it was "not something that was on my list of things I’d expect to see this Christmas. But here we are. Legend!"

Other approving messages included "Can’t love the guy any more if I tried" and "Oh I love you Jude".

Bellingham Senior's 19-year-old brother Jobe is expected to follow him to the very top.

And although for many the Bellingham Boxing Day talking point concerned the chant, the younger brother will be more worried about the dramatic finale on the pitch.

Yuki Ohashi's deserved opener for Blackburn had been overhauled by a quickfire double after the break, via a Chris Rigg strike and a Wilson Isidor backheel.

But Rovers' late sub Harry Leonard grabbed a 90th-minute point-saver.

Sunderland remain fourth - one place but six points ahead of Blackburn.
