Daniel Sturridge had to be on his toes to avoid a soaking from the Anfield sprinklers at half-time of Liverpool's Champions League clash with PSG.
Amazon Prime Video's punditry team of Sturridge, Wayne Rooney and Clarence Seedorf were all lined up alongside host Gabby Logan to give their thoughts on the first half.
But the sprinklers suddenly burst into life, and like the fox-in-the-box striker that he used to be, Sturridge smelt danger.
Without a moment's hesitation, he ran to hide away by the cameras to keep himself dry.
Replaying the incident after returning from an advert break, Logan teased Sturridge as she joked: 'Here he goes, Daniel Sturridge, every man for himself in that moment!'
Sturridge hilariously defended himself, replying: 'I don't say "Oh" for no reason!'

After avoiding a soaking, the Amazon Prime Video punditry team all saw the funny side
Logan, Rooney and Seedorf all saw the funny side before moving onto talking through the main talking points from an intense first half.
Liverpool had started well, with Mohamed Salah going close twice, but the hosts were punished for their defensive sloppiness in the 12th minute.
Ousmane Dembele played the ball through to Bradley Barcola before racing into the box to get on the end of the return cross.
Ibrahima Konate got a toe on the cross, but could only divert it into Dembele's path, and the French forward rolled the ball into the empty net to bring his team level on aggregate after Liverpool won last week's first leg 1-0 in Paris.
