BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award viewers were left baffled as Mary Earps accepted the accolade on Tuesday evening.
The Lioness goalkeeper, 30 won the public vote after her performance during this summer's World Cup.
Yet before the footballer even began her speech, fans were left baffled by Christopher Dean's strange gesture of assistance towards Mary.
After announcing Mary as the well-deserving winner, the Manchester United player accepted the trophy off the ice skating legend before he pushed her forward.
The 65-year-old seemed to be guiding Mary into a specific spot of the stage as he manoeuvred her into position.
