KATE ABDO was left red faced after revealing her childhood celebrity crush as none other than Arsenal legend Ian Wright.
The presenter was hosting the broadcaster’s Champions League coverage alongside Micah Richards, Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher.
The latest clip to come off the CBS production line shows the pundits each discussing their old celebrity crushes.
As ever, the much-loved quartet had provided some unexpected, but hilarious, answers.
Carragher, Henry and Richards pressed Abdo for her puppy love, before she blurted: “I already said, Ian Wright!”
The trio of former footballers were left genuinely shocked, causing Abdo to squirm in her chair and hide away behind her cards in embarrassment.

An animated Richards kept repeating: “You didn’t say that! Hold on.”
Carragher added: “Wait. I thought he was your favourite pundit.”
While Henry – who fans have long joked has a crush on Abdo – simply gasped: “Wow. Now we know”.
The pick of the bunch from the three pundits came from Carragher.

The Liverpool legend’s answer of Sheila Grant from 80s TV show Brookside was met with a fit of laughter from others in the studio.
Richards went with American actress Jessica Alba and said he might dive into her DMs now that she’s split from husband Cash Warren.
Henry picked Daisy Duke, who is a fictional character, played by Catherine Bach, from the US series The Dukes of Hazzard.
Abdo tied the knot with former pro US boxer Malik Scott in an intimate wedding ceremony last September.
Last year, Carragher’s awkward “loyalty” joke caused carnage.
The incident occurred during coverage of Arsenal’s Champions League clash against Porto at the Emirates in March 2024.
In a skit involving a Gunners shirt, Abdo stated that she wouldn’t wear it because she is “loyal” to Manchester United.
Carragher then made a quip about her Scott, saying “not to Malik”, prompting her to ask: “Why would you even ask that?”
Fans cringed and hit out at the former Liverpool defender for his ‘unfunny’ comment which uncomfortably missed the mark.

But Abdo patched things up soon after and accepted Carragher’s apology after initially “feeling hurt” by it.
Abdo subsequently addressed the incident live on TV 24 hours later, delivering an hilarious ‘brotherly’ put-down to Carragher.
