The latest clip to come off the CBS production line shows the pundits each discussing their old celebrity crushes.

The trio of former footballers were left genuinely shocked, causing Abdo to squirm in her chair and hide away behind her cards in embarrassment. An animated Richards kept repeating: "You didn't say that! Hold on.". Carragher added: "Wait. I thought he was your favourite pundit.".
