Jamie Carragher was caught red-faced on live TV as he picked up his phone on live television to speak to his daughter Mia, 20.
The Liverpool legend was on CBS’s panel alongside Kate Scott, Micah Richards and Thierry Henry to cover PSG’s 3-1 Champions League win over Aston Villa on Wednesday night.
The Ligue 1 champions overturned a one-goal deficit, following Morgan Rogers’ opener, to head into the second leg of the quarter-final clash with a confident lead.
Scott was first to chime in and ask: ‘Oh my God, that is like a cardinal sin of television, who is it, who is it?’
Meanwhile, Richards exclaimed: ‘Well, stop it then!’, while Henry watched on as the chaos ensued.
Jamie Carragher answered his phone to talk to his daughter on Wednesday night’s CBS show
The pundit revealed that Mia, 20, was simply calling to find out where her mother was
Mia agreed to talk on loud speaker and was very apologetic for the hilarious interruption
Carragher revealed that it was his daughter, before picking up the phone and greeting her by saying: ‘Hiya babe, are you okay? I’m on TV.’
Richards joked: ‘Well, there goes the Emmy,’ before Carragher explained that Mia was simply asking where her mother was. He told his daughter: ‘I don’t know, I’m in London, babe. I’m in the studio.’
Scott then asked Carragher if Mia would like to go on loud speaker, to which she appeared to oblige.
After being informed by Richards then she had interrupted the live show, Mia’s opening words were: ‘Oh my God, I am so sorry. I didn’t have a clue [he was on live TV].’
Carragher then hilariously asked: ‘Are you not putting the dodgy box on?’ as CBS’s coverage is only available in the United States.
Scott then took her opportunity to ask Carragher’s daughter: ‘I am so interested, your dad can be a little bit spiky on TV, what’s he like at home?’ to which Mia replied: ‘He is lovely.’
After her response was met by a crescendo of awws in the studio, Carragher said: ‘I love you more than anything my girl. What a star.’
He added: ‘There is nothing this girl can ever do wrong. I can’t ever shout at her, I find it hard to shout at you don’t I?’
The wholesome interaction was met with mixed reactions from CBS’s studio members
