Jamie Carragher let off hook for THAT Kate Abdo comment as controversy addressed live on air

Kate Abdo wasted no time addressing the awkward moment she had with Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher during their coverage of the Champions League this week.

On Tuesday, following Arsenal's victory over Porto, Carragher wore a Gunners shirt and suggested that Abdo should do the same. But she decided not to, stating that she was 'too loyal' to her team Manchester United. The former Liverpool player's joke didn't sit well when he then questioned her on it.

"Not to Malik" Carragher shot back, referring to Malik Scott, Abdo's partner and trainer for heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder. She reacted with surprise, asking, "What? Why would you say that? " Carragher said: "He hasn't had a mention in the show yet, has he? ". Carraghers joke sparked outrage on social media, with some feels the remark wasn't appropriate. However, there seems to be no lasting upset, as Abdo joked about the incident during CBS' Champions League coverage the following night.

Abdo started the show with her usual team, saying: "Well, after yesterday's road trip to the Emirates we are back home in our studio in London and it is good to be here. I am Kate Abdo and this group, well you know we've been together for three and a half years, I grew up with a brother and doing this show I've gained three more here at the desk."

She introduced the team again: "Let me introduce you to the group again- Thierry Henry, the golden child who can do no wrong and always says the right thing, sets the example for the rest of us, can he be intimidating? Yes he can, but he is the big brother we all look up to and we all aspire to."

Abdo then addressed Carragher with a smile: "Then, there is the middle child, Jamie Carragher. A chip on his shoulder, capable of saying anything
