Manchester United legend Keane is a regular on the show alongside Gary Neville, Jill Scott, Ian Wright and Jamie Carragher.
And the quintet were joined on the latest episode by a special guest in the form of Keane’s daughter Caragh.
The 29-year-old is the second-oldest of Keane’s five children he shares with wife Theresa Doyle.
Caragh suffers from the incurable disease lupus, which turned her life upside down when diagnosed four years ago.
She was forced to turn down a dream teaching job after suffering extreme joint pain, blisters and alopecia.
But after being told she needed chemotherapy to ease symptoms, Caragh discovered that she could improve her lupus, gut issues and autoimmune problems through diet.
With the help of dad Keane, she has now launched a health company called Superkeen, which sells organic and healthy food to the masses.
And Caragh’s presence on the latest podcast episode brought out the softer side in notorious hard man Keane, who tenderly admitted “I miss them when they’re away” when reflecting on family life.
Caragh said: “He is the most supportive person but he definitely loves his routine. If that is off-kilter, we know about it!
“Like if there’s a delivery coming that he is not aware of, oh my, the poor Amazon delivery man!”

Keane continued: “You would not believe how much we get delivered to the house!”
Caragh noted: “No but he is great. You have your funny moments, don’t you. It’s so good.”
The pair also opened up on how Caragh’s business came about, with Keane again showing his fatherly side.
Keane said: “When you started you asked me to support you, I said ‘Yeah go for it girl’.
“Then we set up a business meeting… ‘Can I have some money daddy?’ That was the business meeting!
“I said yeah, take it, whatever you need. It was more than what I thought to get a company up and running, it’s been hard work.”
