Holly Willoughby and Michael McIntyre found themselves in an awkward situation at the Monaco Grand Prix when they were shoved out of the way by Kim Kardashian's security team. The incident occurred during a live interview with Sky Sports as Kim and her sister Khloe made their entrance at the star-studded event.
The Kardashian Wave
Holly Willoughby and Michael McIntyre were caught up in what McIntyre later described as a "Kardashian wave." As Kim and Khloe Kardashian swept through the paddock, their burly security guards barged past the trio of Willoughby, McIntyre, and presenter Natalie Pinkham, interrupting their interview. McIntyre, never one to miss a comedic opportunity, attempted to join the Kardashian party, shouting, "It's extraordinary... it's a wave! The Kardashians! I'm joining them!"
Kim gave the comic a brief stare before moving on, and McIntyre hurried after them, only to return shortly after. He joked, "We've got a live update. I've just been hit by like a wave. You know when you're on holiday and a wave hits you and it's like 'that's actually quite dangerous'. We've been Kardashian waved." He added that he may have sustained an injury, quipping, "My back's gone. I think something belonging to Kim, I'm not mentioning anything, may have struck me in my lower back earlier... I've got to tell you, it hurt!"
Martin Brundle's Failed Attempt
The incident was not the only awkward moment involving Kim Kardashian at the Grand Prix. Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle also experienced a brush-off when he attempted to interview her during his legendary grid walk. Approaching her politely, he said, "Kim, Martin Brundle from Sky F1, how are you today?" Kardashian glanced at him and smiled before turning away, clearly not interested in speaking. Brundle extended his microphone in hopes of a response, but to no avail. Off-camera, he warned one of her security guards, "No, you don't need to push me mate... I'm almost famous."
Other Highlights of the Weekend
The Monaco Grand Prix saw Kimi Antonelli secure a dominant victory ahead of Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari, after a chaotic ending with two safety cars and a red flag. Martin Brundle also had a brief, frosty encounter with Hollywood star Cynthia Erivo, who was posing for photos and made it clear she wasn't giving interviews. However, he found some consolation in a chat with the Crown Prince of Bahrain, whose sovereign wealth fund holds a stake in the McLaren F1 team, marking their 1,000th race appearance.
