Holly Willoughby and Michael McIntyre had an unexpected encounter with the Kardashians during their glitzy weekend at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The TV pals travelled to Monte Carlo to watch the Formula 1, but there was plenty of drama away from the track when the reality stars made their grand entrance.
Kim Kardashian was making her F1 trackside debut to cheer on her Ferrari driver boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, arriving with her sister Khloe as well as a huge entourage.
Michael and Holly were being interviewed by Sky Sports presenter Natalie Pinkham, when they were caught up in the sisters’ paddock walk.
Holly gushed ‘we are so lucky to be here,’ just before burly security guards rushed into frame and jostled Holly, Michael and Natalie out of the way.
‘It’s a wave!’ yelled Michael, before noticing ‘It’s the Kardashians! I’m joining them!’

Should celebrities get special treatment at major sporting events, or should they respect the traditions and people there?
Michael hurried after Kim and Khloe leaving a shocked Holly behind.
‘We’ve got a live update,’ Michael said as he returned. ‘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.’
Holly agreed, quipping ‘that was ridiculous,’ before Michael joked he had sustained an injury from the collision.
‘My back’s gone. I think something belonging to Kim, I’m not mentioning anything, may have struck me in my lower back earlier,’ he joked. ‘And I gotta tell you, it hurt!’
Kim was also labelled as ‘rude’ after she seemingly snubbed legendary TV reporter and former driver Martin Brundle at the Grand Prix.
The reality star was standing with her entourage watching the pre-race ceremony unfold in the Mediterranean principality.
Kim was approached by Sky Sports presenter Brundle, who conducts pre-race walkabouts and interviews celebrities on the grid before every race, but declined to speak to him.
The presenter walked up and down the packed Monaco start line in the moments before the race looking for celebrities and drivers to interview.
Holly gushed ‘we are so lucky to be here,’ before burly security guards rushed into frame, jostling Holly and Michael. ‘It’s a wave!’ yelled Michael. ‘It’s the Kardashians! I’m joining them!’

‘Famous for absolutely nothing, can’t carry an umbrella herself and she ignores Martin when talented sports persons and international actors embrace him. She has no place on our grid.’
