KATE ABDO left Jamie Carragher in shock after revealing her surprising first job and the reason she was let go.
The TV presenter was hosting CBS Sports’ Champions League coverage alongside Carragher, Micah Richards, Anita Jones and Peter Schmeichel when she lifted the lid on her previous career.
And despite her current glamorous occupation presenting the football alongside a host of star names, she hasn’t always been at the top.
In fact she started her professional life a whole world away from the football pitches and the tv cameras as an employee at Greggs.
Abdo revealed live on air that her first ever job was working for the northern bakery serving customers their sausage rolls and steak bakes.
Speaking on , she said: “[I used to work at] Greggs in Stretford. I wasn’t dripping in Louis Vuitton so much back then - It was my first job.”
