Sky Sports commentator Kelly Cates disrupted by fire alarm, halting Daniel Sturridge's interview during Super Sunday broadcast
A Fire Alarm Disrupts Super Sunday's Pre-Match Analysis
The smoke-free sports studio nearly turned into a chaotic arena during Sky Sports' Super Sunday as a pesky fire alarm halted Daniel Sturridge's heartwarming reminiscence of his time at former clubs, Chelsea and Liverpool.
In the swanky studios, Sturridge was aloft, dissecting the anticipated clash between the two prestigious clubs, sprinkling his analysis with tales from his time playing with the likes of Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka, and Andriy Shevchenko. But, the fire alarm had other plans, and it manage to ruin the serene atmosphere.
As the blaring alarm drowned Sturridge's words, host Kelly Cates — granddaughter of Sir Kenny Dalglish — intervened, assuring viewers that they weren't oblivious to the ruckus.
"Sit tight, folks. We appreciate you're hearing this alarm, but it's just a test," Cates tried to soothe the anxious viewers.
The ever-jovial Sturridge chimed in with a playful "Test, 1,2,3", mirroring an audio calibration, while his co-commentators, Roy Keane and Jamie Redknapp, couldn't help but grin.
Once the alarm simulation concluded, Sturridge had the freedom to resume his analysis. He advocated for Enzo Maresca's success at Chelsea, given time, despite the club's up-and-down season[3][4][5].
"TheExpectations are high for Chelsea," Sturridge explained. "But, if you consider the injuries and the marginal performances this season compared to last year, it's been an acceptable season."
Sturridge further added that improvement was imminent, giving due credit to the importance of time for coaches[6].
