Jamie Carragher caused a stir on live television when his phone rang during CBS Sports` Champions League coverage, leaving host Kate Abdo in mock horror.
The incident occurred on the banter-filled show featuring Thierry Henry, Micah Richards, and presenter Abdo.
As the panel discussed Paris Saint-Germain`s victory over Aston Villa, the studio was interrupted by Carragher`s ringing phone.
A surprised Abdo exclaimed: "Oh my God, that is like a cardinal sin of television, who is it?"
Carragher, looking flustered, revealed it was his 20-year-old daughter Mia.
He answered the call, explaining that Mia was asking about her mother`s location, saying, "I don`t know, I am in London babe."
Abdo playfully suggested putting Mia on speakerphone, which Richards joked would cost them an Emmy Award.
Mia`s voice then joined the broadcast, as she apologised: "Oh my God, I am so sorry. I didn't have a clue [he was on live TV]."
Carragher jokingly asked Mia, referencing the US-only broadcast: "Are you not putting the dodgy box on?"
Abdo then engaged Mia, asking: "I am so interested, your dad can be a little bit spiky on TV, what is he like at home?"
Mia responded with a warm: "He is lovely."
Carragher responded affectionately: "I love you more than anything my girl. What a star."
Richards then playfully inquired if Mia was the favorite child, or if that title belonged to her older brother James, 22, who plays for Wigan Athletic.
Carragher admitted: "There is nothing this girl can ever do wrong, I can never shout at her, I find it hard to shout at you don`t I?"
As he ended the call, Mia said "I love you" to her dad, prompting an "aww" from the rest of the CBS Sports team.
Mia is pursuing a career as an actress, having graduated from Tring Park Performing Arts School in 2022.
She is also a dancer and has a significant social media presence with over 84,400 followers on Instagram.
