Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher had a priceless reaction as CBS Sports announced a new addition to the team that no-one was expecting for their Champions League coverage.

Richards and Carragher were in the studio for the opening night of Champions League action, alongside Thierry Henry and host Kate Abdo - who has changed her last name to Scott after her marriage to boxing trainer Malik Scott.

She briefly stopped the coverage to announce the arrival of a special guest to the programme.

And as Carragher and Richards looked on in anticipation, the new pundit was announced as none other than their former England team-mate David Beckham.

While Henry was slightly more reserved at the reveal, Carragher and Richards leapt out of their seats, with the latter shouting to Beckham: "David, where are you? He can't hear..."

While it appeared that Beckham, who was appearing via video link, was having audio issues, he then walked into the studio and introduced himself.

And the reaction was incredible.

Beckham will be joining the CBS Sports hosting team for the Champions League semi-final second legs and the final this season.

He will front a new show titled 'Beckham and Friends' on the broadcaster.

The show will centre around a watchalong of the matches, with Beckham being joined by famous friends from both inside and outside of the world of sport.

He explained: "I think each time will be a different personality, person or friend of mine.

"Like you guys, I love watching football. I like watching the game in a certain way, whether that be with my kids or my friends.

"So it's going to be that kind of thing, where I'm sat there watching the games, commentating on the games with friends, talking about the games and sometimes not talking about the games.

"The bar's quite high [to be involved]."
