This Morning presenter Craig Doyle had the shock of his life after learning one of his guests, a fellow Dubliner, did not share the same passion for the sport he loved.
On Monday’s episode of ITV’s This Morning (August 7), Craig and co-host Josie Gibson welcomed the cast of the West End’s new musical, La Bamba.
Strictly Come Dancing star Pasha Kovalev was brought along by The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswara to promote La Bamba, which they both star in.

But just before welcoming his guests, Craig could not help but announce the breaking news that England’s Lionesses had just secured a place in the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup in football.
The Irish star explained in excitement that the female athletes had won by a score of 4-2 after going to penalties, beating Nigeria who he said “played absolutely brilliantly”.
“I’ve been watching on my phone on the side, I’ll admit to that,” Craig revealed.
Josie chimed in with the positive news before congratulating the football team.
“Well done Lionesses, we’re so proud of you,” she cheered on.
Keeping the momentum going for the great news, Craig turned to Pasha and Siva, asking them for a reaction.
“Amazing news,” Pasha responded in delight.
But Craig quickly noticed that Siva had been staying quiet throughout the revelation that the Lionesses had won a game.
“I don’t do football, sorry,” Siva revealed as he awkwardly kept quiet.
The Dancing on Ice star’s confession launched Craig into a state of complete disbelief as he could not come to terms with the fact that a person from Ireland’s capital city did not share the same interest in football.
“You’re from Blanchardstown in Dublin, football is their beating heart,” the presenter blurted out.
“Ok I’ll pick it up just for you, Craig,” Siva tried to reassure Craig.
But the awkward interaction didn’t end there, as the hostile interaction between Siva and Craig continued after Pasha’s account of his role in La Bamba.
“Siva, you’re just a lovable idiot,” the ITV host said, as he quickly clarified that these were “not his words”, while Josie gasped in awe.
Understanding that there was no ill intent with Craig’s question, who was trying to describe Siva’s character in La Bamba, Siva replied: “Is that in the show or in real life?”
“Only in the show,” Craig replied, as the entire panel laughed.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
