And now he says Carragher's future with the company "will be interesting" after calls for the former Liverpool defender to be sacked. 

Carragher, 40, will hold crunch talks with Sky producers today after a spokesperson for the TV giants labelled his actions as "unacceptable."

The football pundit was filmed opening his window and spitting at another car after being heckled following Liverpool's 2-1 defeat against Manchester United.

The young daughter can be heard in the background claiming that his spit hit her in the face.

Carragher was quick to offer a grovelling apology on Twitter that read: "Totally out of order & I've apologised personally to all the family this evening.

"I was goaded 3/4 times along the motorway while being filmed & lost my rag. No excuse apologies."

The schoolgirl was reduced to tears after the confrontation on Sunday, saying: "I have never been spat at by anyone before. I thought, ‘Why has he done that’. I thought I had done ­something wrong.

"People in school take the mick and it is just a laugh. Someone like him who is older should be able to take a joke.";

Keys and fellow co-presenter Andy Gray both lost their jobs at Sky in 2011 following leaked tapes which revealed sexist comments about Massey, football executives and colleagues.

Gray made gestures to presenter Charlotte Jackson by asking her to help tuck something into his trousers.

Keys was recorded making comments to Jamie Redknapp about an ex-girlfriend by asking him if he had "smashed it."

And talkSPORT pundit Vinnie Jones thinks Carragher should be shown the exit door.

Hardman Jones, 53, blasted: "It is cowardly.

"How has the lad driving it not driven after Jamie, rammed him, dragged him out of the car and beat seven... you know what I mean.

"If someone spat at my daughter sitting in the car, I would have been after them.
