Jamaican star sprinter Usain Bolt attracted the biggest television audience of the Commonwealth Games when he lined up to compete in the 4x100m relay final on Saturday night.

The 27-year-old sparked controversy when he arrived in Glasgow for allegedly saying that the Games were "a bit shit", but the Olympic champion swiftly denied that he had made such claims.

However, Bolt was still able to draw in a TV audience of 8.4 million viewers when he guided the Jamaica team to relay gold at Hampden Park at the weekend.

Ahead of the race, Bolt pleased the Scottish crowd by dancing to a rendition of The Proclaimers' song 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)'.
