She is best known for hosting American channel CBS' coverage of the Champions League - where she is joined by ex-players Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards.

The show has received widespread praise for its hilariously relaxed, jovial atmosphere.

And as the 2023/24 edition of Europe's elite competition kicked off on Tuesday evening, the four CBS regulars were present in the studio.

Abdo introduced Henry as a Champions League winner with Barcelona, before offering the same courtesy for Liverpool hero Carragher.

She then turned to Richards, who she often jokingly rips into, adding: "The one and only Big Meeks, Micah Richards, also in the house.

"Good to be back as a team."

To which Richards responded: "I'm so happy to be back. Ecstatic would be word I would use."

And fans of presenter Abdo were quick to voice their own delight at seeing the broadcaster back on their screens.

One said: "I watch UCL football for Kate Abdo."

Another added: "Kate Abdo twice a week, this is what life is about."

While a third replied: "I have been waiting too long to see Kate Abdo again."
