KATE ABDO has shot to fame over the last few years with her presenting of CBS Sports' Champions League coverage in the US.<\/p>\n

Her banter with Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards means not a week goes by without a clip of their analysis going viral.<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n

And it's helped make Abdo a household name – both in the UK and the US.<\/p>\n

Her rise to the top has seen her take on a range of roles, includinga stint on UK screens with Sky Sports News in the mid 2010s.<\/p>\n

The multilingual Abdo has been a rising star in broadcasting since her first job in 2005.<\/p>\n

She worked for Germans Deutsche Welle, before scoring a job at Goal! The Bundesliga Magazine.<\/p>\n

Laura Woods hailed by fans as 'absolutely divine' as TNT Sports presenter stuns<\/h3>\n

Eventually she was given a presenting job with DW in 2009, hosting coverage in German and English.<\/p>\n

After a stint at CNN, Adbo left for Sky Sports Germany where she appeared on pay per view boxing events, European football coverage, transfer deadline day and Sky Sports News shows.<\/p>\n

She worked in the US for Fox Sports, but it's with CBS Sports that she has become a star around the world.<\/p>\n

That's particularly down to her on-screen chemistry with fellow presenters Henry, Carragher and Richards which often sees them divulge stories from their past.<\/p>\n

Last week, the production team let the boys in on a secret that Abdo's first job was at Gregg's – something that her pundits grilled her about.<\/p>\n

When a mock-up of Abdo in a Gregg's uniform was put on screen she said: "I wasn't dripping Louis Vuitton quite as much back then."<\/p>\n

That was before saying "My breasts have never been that big." as she reacted to the photoshopped picture – much to the pundits' amusement.<\/p>\n

Viewers have also loved the way Abdo has ribbed her fellow presenters in the past.<\/p>\n

Richards is a particular target for the sharp-witted presenter, with the two of them used to going back and forth.<\/p>\n

The presenter provided what fans called a "hall of fame burn" when she gave Richards a less than favourable introduction for the Champions League final.<\/p>\n

And she was also on hand to make use of her fluent Spanish to explain that Lionel Messi had DM'd Jamie Carragher to call him a "donkey".<\/p>\n
