Kate Abdo announces change as Jamie Carragher makes another awkward joke on return to Champions League coverage

The popular presenter married retired boxer Scott earlier this month in an intimate ceremony. On Tuesday, she was joined in the CBS Sports studio by Thierry Henry, Micah Richards, and Carragher for the return of the Champions League. After the 43-year-old said she had signed an "exclusive contract" over the summer, Liverpool legend Carragher may have put his foot in it again.

Kate said: "Yes, with my new husband! Allow me to reintroduce myself. Last name, Abdo. It has to go. We're going to do this. S-C-O-T-T. Kate Scott."

Carragher quipped soon after as he gave his colleague a hug, "Malik's not here, is he?". This prompted fellow pundit Richards to burst out laughing.

This is not the first time Carragher has been in hot water over his comments about Kate. Earlier this year, Abdo said she wouldn't wear an Arsenal shirt because she is "loyal" to her team Manchester United. Carragher then piped up: "Not to Malik."

Kate took the comment in good spirits but was initially rattled, with the former England defender later apologising for his comment.

Kate, Carragher, Henry, and Richards will be covering the Champions League all season for CBS Sports and there are likely to be more laughs and potential drama along the way.
