Micah Richards ‘walked off set’ during an interview with a player after Wednesday’s Champions League fixtures.
Richards, 36, was part of CBS’ live broadcasting team alongside fellow former Premier League stars Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and host Kate Scott.
After the match, the former Manchester City and Aston Villa right-back spoke to Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram after the Italian champions progressed to the semi-finals of Europe’s premier club competition with a 2-2 draw (4-3 aggregate win) against Bayern Munich at the San Siro.
“Marcus, why do you call Thierry [Henry] uncle – I just wanted to know this?” Richards asked Thuram when speaking on CBS.

“I say every time I come here,” the Inter forward joked.
“He’s my uncle because he’s the brother of my dad [Lilian Thuram], you know so he’s my uncle.
“Thierry you have a very very nice suit tonight.”
“What about me and Micah?” quipped Carragher.

“Both yeah, Micah a bit tight,” Thuram joked to the amusement of the panel who all burst into laughter.
“Why is it always you, Micah… I’m sorry,” the France international added.
Thuram, 27, has been a standout in Simone Inzaghi’s side this season having registered 17 goals and nine assists in 44 appearances helping the side to top of Serie A.
Inter have the chance to capture their fourth European Cup/Champions League – previously won in 2009/10, 1964/65 and 1963/64 - this season but face a talented Barcelona side in the last four.

But that's not all, as Inter can still secure a treble - Serie A, Champions League and Coppa Italia.
Inzaghi, 49, previously explained how his team have the "DNA to fight in all competitions" back in March.
After Wednesday's match he hailed his side's mentality.
“It’s a wonderful evening, experienced at our stadium, in front of our fans, against a very strong team,” Inzaghi explained.

“We had to play two great matches, giving everything we had. The boys were fantastic – this is a victory to share with the entire Inter family.
“We move forward in this long season that’s giving us so many emotions.”
“The credit goes to the players, who work hard and sacrifice themselves together," he added.
“We’ve been together for four years.

“At the start, we knew we had a strong team but also that we needed to fix some things.
“We’ve managed to win important trophies. It’s a huge satisfaction that rewards the work of myself and the staff.”
