DAVID BECKHAM stole the show and delivered the best line with a Devil of a comment about Kate Abdo – as he gatecrashed the CBS Champions League coverage.
Pundits Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry and especially Micah Richards were open-mouthed with excitement when Beckham walked into the studio.
And the England icon didn’t let them down when Richards asked The Big Question.
Former Manchester United midfielder Becks was first left smiling bashfully as the ex-Man City defender was overcome with emotion at his hero’s unexpected visit.
But after recovering, Richards asked: “Who’s your favourite on this show?”
Beckham flashed back faster than one of his trademark free-kicks: “The United fan” – as he turned to look at Abdo.
Cue uproar in the studio – with Richards jokily hurling some screwed-up paper at the smiling broadcaster at the far end of the table.
Manchester-born Abdo is a lifetime Red Devils‘ supporter.
And she smiled broadly at Beckham’s announcement.
But while Becks was wowing the pundits, it was Richards who was doing the woo-ing!

Sitting next to the former Real Madrid star, he raved: “He smells good, he looks good… His suit is fresh. What a guy!”
Becks couldn’t contain his laughter at that claim.
Abdo had earlier opened the whole encounter by teasing the appearance of a special guest.
Beckham then appeared on a video link – but with apparent “sound problems” preventing him from being heard.
However, that was all part of Abdo’s mischievous build-up – as Becks then shocked the three Prem stars next to her by walking in on the other side of the studio.
He praised CBS coverage as “exciting, different” – before modestly insisting: “I’m not a pundit and I don’t think I’ve ever been good enough to be a pundit.”
But whatever impression he might make on viewers, he certainly won over the studio.
