JAMIE CARRAGHER rushed to Kate Abdo’s rescue after she started choking live on TV.
During CBS Sports coverage of the Champions League clash between Inter and AC Milan, Abdo introduced the show but soon found herself in a spot of bother.
The host seemed to catch a lump in her throat, stuttering briefly as she struggled to finish her sentence.
After valiantly soldiering on to complete the sentence, she was then forced to pause and catch a second wind as she started coughing while covering her mouth to clear her throat.
Fortunately, Carragher was on hand as he rushed over to hand her a bottle of water.
Afterwards, Abdo joked she had “killed” the intro, while Micah Richards and Thierry Henry could be heard making jokes about the incident in the background.

Fans online rushed to the comments reacting to the turn of events.

Others highlighted the reaction of Henry, who could be seen watching almost with a hint of a smirk as Abdo drank the water Carragher had provided.
One typed: “Henry’s face 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣.”

A second said: “Henry’s look😂😂😂.”
While a third joked: “Jamie with the save but Titi was straight up in trance watching her drink water 😂.”
The CBS panel has drawn widespread praise from fans for the infectious chemistry it is able to generate between its pundits and host.
However, it does not stop them from providing analysis on more serious matters.
Last night’s show saw Carragher stun his colleagues after calling Rio Ferdinand “a clown”, while also taking a swipe at ex-team-mate Steven Gerrard.
