Kate Abdo’s husband Malik Scott shows off hilarious hoodie mocking Jamie Carragher as boxing trainer appears on CBS’ Champions League coverage after last season’s ‘loyal’ dig

Jamie Carragher and Kate Abdo’s husband Malik Scott appeared to bury the hatchet on Wednesday night when the latter joined the CBS Champions League quartet after Real Madrid‘s defeat of Manchester City. 

Carragher found himself in hot water last season after he made an uncomfortable remark to Abdo during the network’s coverage of Arsenal versus Porto in March. 

When joking about Abdo donning an Arsenal shirt after the final whistle, the former Liverpool defender joked awkwardly that Abdo was ‘not loyal to Malik’, with the comment failing to prompt any laughter from either his co-hosts or Scott himself. 

When Abdo and Carragher next appeared on European football coverage together, the anchor addressed the issue directly, levelling a brutal put-down at Carragher – but effectively moving on from the incident. 

Carragher later described the dressing down as ‘just getting a little smack and getting put back in place (by Abdo), and rightly so.’

But in the intervening months, Scott – who married Abdo in September 2024 – appears to have put the incident behind him too, and appeared as part of the Champions League night coverage to prove it, albeit with a final cheeky joke. 

The loved-up broadcaster has been publicly with her now-husband since autumn 2023

Micah Richards first introduced Scott as someone who ‘took his seat on the plane’ to join the quartet in Madrid, with Abdo welcoming her ‘husband, Malik’ to the Bernabeu as part of their post-match coverage. 

The former Manchester City player wasted no time stirring the pot, asking Scott and Carragher: ‘is everything okay between you two, everything good?  

Carragher said of Scott that ‘he looks alright’, but Richards was keen not to let the moment lie, turning to Scott to add: ‘Everything cool? You sure?’

After Scott replied in the affirmative, Abdo added: ‘(He’s) team CBS tonight, you’re supporting the crew. Do you want to show everyone your hoodie?’ 

‘Absolutely,’ Scott said, before revealing a hoodie that had the names of all four CBS presenters – with Carragher’s crossed out. 

Scott’s at-home customisation prompted peals of laughter from the assembled company, with Thierry Henry noting that the gesture was ‘cold’.  

But Scott was keen to let bygones be bygones after the final crack at Carragher, adding that he has ‘got to get a new one’. 

Scott was then probed by Richards on who his ‘favourite on this show’ was, loyally answering that his wife, ‘Kate Scott’ was of course number one.

The joke had Thierry Henry and Micah Richards in fits of laughter – but the pair have put the comment firmly behind them

Richards himself then got a shout out, with Carragher jokingly unwilling to hear who was next on the list. 

‘After them two, it’s all love,’ Scott said of Henry and Carragher. 

At the time of the comment, however, Scott had a very different view, dubbing Carragher ‘obnoxious’ and threatening to ‘show up physically’. 

The boxing trainer said: ‘It was a very minute thing, but her being irritated by it a little bit is what really got to me. Him just saying it and being that guy who always makes those picking at you jokes wasn’t really a big deal to me at all. It’s only a big deal if Kate is upset.

‘If Kate gets upset then it’s a really big deal to me and I’ll give him a call and if he doesn’t pick up my call, then I’ll show up in a physical manner so we can talk like men, so that’s not something you should continue to do.

‘But I think Jamie apologised, not just to Kate but to the team, and one thing you can’t do is knock a man who admits he was wrong,’ Scott continued. ‘In that regard I have high respect for him.’

But hatchet firmly buried, last year saw Scott reveal that all of Abdo’s CBS co-hosts had ‘sent their wishes’ to the couple on their wedding day. 

Scott and Abdo tied the knot in Malibu nine months after their relationship was made public at the end of 2023.
