UK TV Presenter Holly Willoughby has spoken out about the hilarious moment she and comedian Michael McIntyre were swept up in the “Kardashian Wave” at Monaco Formula One.
The moment, which has now gone viral online, happened on the grid during an interview with Sky Sports. Willoughby and McIntyre were speaking to the outlet about the chaos of the race day when Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian, along with a number of security guards, burst past them.

As the group approached, a security guard can be heard telling people to make way, when McIntyre quips as he’s being moved aside, “Oh my god, it’s incredible… It’s a wave. It’s the Kardashians!”
The large crowd of people surrounding the Kardashians, which included personal security and people holding umbrellas, accidently caught McIntyre and Willoughby in the crossfire.
Continuing with the joke, McIntyre started to move towards the group as if the “wave” was pulling him in, yelling, “It’s the Kardashians; I’m joining them.” Meanwhile, Willoughby jumped out of the way next to the Sky Sports presenter.
Kim seemed to realise that she had interrupted the interview, turning around and offering a quiet “sorry” to the pair as she continued moving.
A day after the event, Willoughby took to Instagram to address the moment with video of her trip and a caption wrapping it all up.
“What a weekend! Monaco you didn’t disappoint…thank you for having us,” she wrote.

“Hard to pick a highlight, grid walks, hot laps (I will post this later, safe to say I wasn’t built for speed 😵💫) all topped off by getting caught up in a Kim Kardashian fly past 🤣”
“That’s one weekend that I’ll never forget 🏎️🏁❤️ ✨.”
Fans took to the comments to express how funny they thought the situation was, with one writing: “@Michael Mcintyre was mint!!!!! Surprised though he wasn’t tackled to the ground by her security.”
“The Kardashian wave was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time,” another wrote.”
“Saw you and Michael McIntyre being taken out by the Kim K team 😂. Looked incredible,” a fan said.

While the moment was well received online, a second incident involving legendary Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle and the Kardashian sisters did not go down as well.
Brundle is a well-known figure in the F1 world. He’s credited with getting some of the best interviews with celebrities and people in showbiz on the grid every single year.
However, some were upset Kardashian didn’t do her homework on grid etiquette because when he approached the pair for an interview, he was met with silence.
Things got awkward following a few seconds of silence, with Brundle heard telling a security guard “don’t push me mate.”
Another man, who appears to be an F1 employee, is then seen whispering something in Kardashian’s ear before the veteran reporter says, “yeah, people usually have a quick chat with us.”
However, the pair just slowly floated away leaving Brundle talking to himself.
The moment did the rounds online, with fans quickly jumping to Brundle’s defence.
“Kim Kardashian and anyone on the grid who thinks that’s they are bigger than the sport they are visiting should be banned from ever being on the grid again,” one person wrote.
Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian have been romantically linked since their appearance at the Superbowl in February. NBC
“No way Martin Brundle got aired by Kim Kardashian. Lewis Hamilton definitely forgot to brief her on F1 royalty,” another person wrote.
Kardashian attended the race in support of her partner Lewis Hamilton, who she has been dating since February.
