New Match of the Day host Kelly Cates is used to asking the hard questions - just ask Cristiano Ronaldo .Having interviewed a number of world class players from her career, the 49-year-old has revealed one awkward encounter lives long in her memory.The five-time Ballon d'Or winner opened the scoring with a backheel flick, before assisting each of the next three goals for Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney.
As for Cates, she continued to work as a reporter at both club and international level, before linking up at Sky Sports in 2016 where she became a lead presenter for the broadcaster's Premier League coverage.Speaking of her upcoming role in presenting the iconic football highlights show, Cates said: "Once I sit in that chair and the theme music starts, I just know that's going to be a really incredible moment.
Before adding: "We are all friends and we've known each other for a long time and that's a really lovely part of it. "Not only is it a great role just on its own, but I'm sharing it with two people I really admire, respect and genuinely like. It's a great set-up."
