    WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

    After seeing two ex-Premier League stars embarrass themselves on live television, even with a professional on hand to offer support and advice, @BoxeoHarrison said of the segment: “State of it.” @NjiAsonganyi chimed in with “this was such a painful watch”, while @Txwffx says those on show were “doing too much”. @aizikomo said: “What the hell. Couldn’t even hear what Jamie was saying. Did not finish watching.” Host Scott and Arsenal great Henry were, however, praised for steering clear of the shenanigans as @DAVIDBRENT44 pointed out: “This was so tough to watch, at least Kate & Henry kept their dignity.”

  • WHAT NEXT?

    CBS Sports’ coverage of the Champions League has enjoyed a surge in popularity, due in no small part to the chaos that often breaks out on set. Their latest production delivered on that score, but Carragher and Richards should probably put their dancing shoes away for the last 16.
