Jamie Carragher was awkwardly turned away from seeing former Liverpool team-mate and Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard ahead of their defeat to the Reds on Tuesday.
Former Red Carragher took viewers behind the scenes on a stadium walk of Villa Park on Instagram before he began his Sky Sports commentary for the Premier League clash.
The pundit headed down the tunnel in an attempt to pay his former team-mate Gerrard a visit but was left red faced after being denied access to the Villa boss.
Carragher stopped a Villa employee in the tunnel to check that he was allowed to continue his walkabout in the tunnel.
