HARRY KANE has admitted to becoming addicted to the computer game Fortnite during his downtime in Russia.
The England skipper has also revealed how his fiancee Katie Goodland in the UK has called the Three Lions camp a stag holiday at the World Cup.
Tottenham striker Kane has been on fire for Gareth Southgate's men - netting five goals in two games.
He is set to be recalled to the starting XI to face Colombia in the last-16 as England look to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in 12 years.
When asked by BBC presenter Gabby Logan what he has been up to, Kane laughed: "Playting Fortnite.
"As silly as it sounds, playing Fortnite passes the time quite well.
“There are quite a few of us playing a few games of that.
"The missus is going to have a bit of a shock when I get home.
“She says it feels like we are on a boys’ holiday – with everyone playing Fortnite and no babies. Stuff like that. We have got to enjoy it while it lasts.”
Kane is currently leading the race to win the Golden Boot, and has astonishingly scored with every shot on target.
Speaking of the clash against Colombia, Southgate said: "Of course, I can see everybody is more excited as the team progresses, but we have to think separately of what everybody else is thinking.
"Otherwise we just get carried away on the wave of emotion and don’t think clearly about what we have to affect, focusing on performance.
“With all our preparations, we feel we are in a good place. Now we have to stop talking and go and deliver.
"It is pointless us even thinking about what might happen after the game.
“We focus on the game, on our performance, and everything will fall into place from there. We haven’t discussed anything beyond tomorrow.”
While he also added: "For this team, it’s a brilliant opportunity to go beyond where more experienced teams have gone before.
"They’re relishing that chance. This is a great game for them to attack.
“You know the level of the game is going up a notch, the level of the opponent is higher.
“You get punished more ruthlessly if you allow opportunities so it is the same for us.”
