Triple Olympic gold medallist and world-record holder, Usain Bolt, is to appear on the popular television programme 'Live with Regis and Kelly' on the ABC network this morning.

The programme airs at 8 a.m.

Other scheduled guests on the programme are singer Nick Lachey, who will be a co-host, and wife of football star David Beckham, Victoria Beckham.

Bolt is in the United States on a PUMA-organised media blitz and also made a courtesy call on the Jamaican consul general in New York, Genieve Brown-Metzger.

Bolt's management has come under pressure from members of the Caribbean media in New York, who claimed they have been snubbed.
