Holly Willoughby and Michael McIntyre were caught in an unexpected Monaco Grand Prix paddock moment when Kim Kardashian’s entourage appeared to force its way through a live Sky Sports broadcast.
The pair were being interviewed from the circuit when the reality television star’s security team and assistants moved through the crowded area.
The interruption briefly disrupted the live segment and prompted a typically humorous response from McIntyre.
Kardashian entourage interrupts live Sky Sports segment
Willoughby and McIntyre were discussing their Monaco Grand Prix experience during a live Sky Sports appearance when the incident unfolded.
As Willoughby described the atmosphere around the famous street circuit, Kardashian’s entourage made its way through the paddock while escorting the American celebrity through the busy media area.
Kardashian attended the event to support Lewis Hamilton and was one of several high-profile celebrities spotted around the paddock throughout the weekend.
The interruption brought the live interview to a temporary halt as security personnel and assistants moved through the crowd.
Viewers quickly noticed the disruption, which became one of the more unusual off-track moments from the Monaco weekend.
McIntyre turns awkward moment into a joke
Rather than reacting with frustration, McIntyre immediately found the humour in the situation. The comedian briefly pretended to follow the entourage before returning to continue the interview. Once the group had moved on, he continued joking about what had happened.
“It’s extraordinary, it’s a wave… It’s the Kardashians, I’m joining them!… We’ve been Kardashian waved… I think something belonging to Kim may have struck me in my lower back area.”
The incident added to the attention surrounding Kardashian’s Monaco appearance, which generated several talking points across the race weekend.
For Willoughby and McIntyre, however, the interruption ultimately became a light-hearted paddock moment that quickly spread across social media.
