Jamie Carragher reveals his wife told him he ‘went too far’ with ‘awful’ joke live on TV
JAMIE CARRAGHER apologised to Micah Richards after his wife told him he "went too far" with a cruel joke.
The pundits were back on CBS Sports last night to cover another evening of Champions League action.
On Tuesday' show, Richards showed off his new haircut as he swapped his usual trim for a shorter and cleaner cut.
The former Manchester City star said: "I look fantastic don't I? I just thought new year, new me."
But Carragher was having none of it and brutally replied: "It doesn't suit you. I'm saying that as a friend."
After seeing a split screen of his new and old hair, the former Liverpool defender added: "I mean, honestly, you look awful. You look so cool on the other one."

He also claimed the hairdo "looks like you've got a hat on".
Reacting on last night's show, Richards said: "I got cooked yesterday. You ruined my confidence yesterday, Jamie."
Carragher then revealed his wife told him off for teasing his colleague, revealing: "My wife, Nicola, my gorgeous lovely wife, said last night that I went too far."
Presenter Kate Abdo hilariously chimed in: "It was the hair extensions wasn't it?"
Carragher burst into laughter, replying: "It was nothing to do with you."
He then shook hands with a smiling Richards to apologise, who said: "Thank you, Nicola. I love you."
And the ex-England players were friends again as they hit the dance-floor to Saturday Night Fever later in the show.
Both showed off their moves while talking through the permutations of the Champions League table going into the final matchday.
Liverpool sit top after beating Lille 2-1 thanks to a Mo Salah goal, who according to Carra, is "slicker than John Travolta's hair".
He also joked "are Man City staying alive" after their 4-2 defeat to PSG last night that leaves them in danger of elimination.
