- Sky Sports have tricked a host of pundits to celebrate their new tennis channel
- Jamie Carragher was bombarded with tennis balls during an unsuspecting prank
- Tennis balls were fired at Carragher and other pundits from parts of the studio
Jamie Carragher and Nasser Hussain were unsuspecting victims of a hilarious sports prank that saw the pair bombed with tennis balls.
The duo – along with a number of other headlines on Sky Sports – thought they were in for a quiet afternoon at the broadcaster’s headquarters when they were pranked.
To celebrate the launch of Sky’s new tennis channel, the organization planned a trick with some of their experts that provoked brilliantly comic reactions.
Karen Carney, Natalie Pinkham, Izzy Christiensen, Naomi Schiff and Tamsin Greenway were also on the receiving end as balls were fired at them from different parts of the studio.
Individuals arrive at the studio to film promotions for the new channel and perform their regular duties, but things quickly turn into chaos as the balls start raining from unlikely places.
Carragher is sitting in a comfortable leather chair next to live football presenter David Jones when hundreds of tennis balls fall halfway from the ceiling as the Liverpool legend speaks into the camera.
The pair are immediately stunned as Carragher leans back and throws his hands in the air, while Jones tries to protect himself from the green missiles crashing into every part of the room.
