Jamie Carragher was forced to leave the CBS Sports studio midway through their Champions League show on Wednesday as presenter Kate Scott explained his unexpected departure.
The 47-year-old, who was in the Anfield crowd on Tuesday night as his former side Liverpool came up against Paris Saint-Germain, joined Thierry Henry, Micah Richards and Kate Scott in the London-based studio.
He was involved in the build-up to an action-packed night of games, and was 'cooked' by Scott as she introduced the trio to those watching at home.

But when cameras returned to the studio after Wednesday's half-time whistle, Carragher had left the coverage.
A short time later, Henry and Richards questioned where their fellow panel member had gone, only for Scott to share the news that the former Liverpool defender wasn't feeling well.
As per the Mirror, there is no suggestion that the illness is a serious one.

As mentioned above, Carragher was at Anfield on Tuesday night as Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League on penalties by Paris Saint-Germain.
The former England international cut a stone-faced in the Kop and shortly after the full-time whistle on Tuesday, he admitted to feeling "deflated" after watching Arne Slot's side fall at the last 16 stage.
Speaking to CBS about the result, he said: "I am a bit deflated about the result but listen, the best team won - PSG."

After such a disappointing evening, Carragher returned to the CBS studio after missing Tuesday's coverage but presenter Scott was quick to remind the so-called "prodigal son" about Tuesday night's result.
"Hello, welcome to our London studios. I am Kate Scott and I am once again joined by Thierry Henry and Micah Richards.
"Tonight, just like the story of the prodigal son. A bit too big for his boots, he thought life would be sweeter on the road. He thought he would be away, enjoying drinking and revelling, but he took a major loss and realised his foolishness."
Scott added: "He came home, humbled. Hoping that he would be accepted. Jamie Carragher, back in the chair."
