Scott, a former boxer, threatened to “show up in a physical manner” if the ex-Liverpool star ever went too far and then failed to answer his call. However, Carragher was part of the CBS team which joined Scott and Abdo for dinner before Wednesday’s broadcast. “It was not something I lost any sleep over because I noticed the way Kate handled it was very, very well, and Jamie was just being Jamie and I have no problem with him,” he said.

Even so, he hinted he was prepared to take action of Carragher overstepped the mark. “As long as Kate is happy, I have no problem,” he continued. “Now if he makes Kate upset then I have a serious problem and he’ll get a call from me, and if he doesn’t pick up my call I’ll show up in a physical manner for him.”

Did Jamie Carragher go too far with his joke? He stressed that he’s a big fan of the broadcast and the interactions between the panel, making it clear he would only be upset if things reach a point where his partner is upset by the panelists. “All of that stuff is all good man, I’ve never been a man who has been insecure in a relationship.

“I don’t know how to go about jealousy and things of that nature. I enjoy the show, the relationships, the love, and whatever makes the chemistry pop for the show, as long as Kate is not disrespected or irritated.”

“I don’t have insecurities or jealousy when someone I’m seeing is working around other men, as long as she’s being respectful and she’s being respected, I’m totally fine with it. None of this is a problem until she’s upset or irritated.”
