VIEWERS were left puzzled when Wyclef Jean positioned himself unusually close to Karen Carney during ITV’s World Cup broadcast.
The 56-year-old Haitian musician was invited as a special guest while ITV showcased the match between Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.
Jean interacted with host Laura Woods and pundits Carney, Duncan Ferguson, and Jobi McAnuff.
During his time on air, Jean was notably perched on the armrest of Carney’s chair.
Many viewers took to X, with one questioning, “Is he making Karen Carney uncomfortable?!”
In contrast, another commented, “This Karen Carney/Wyclef Jean connection is priceless!”

In the wake of Haiti’s 1-0 defeat to Scotland on Saturday, Jean addressed Ferguson.
Extending his hand towards Ferguson, he said, “I’ll shake your hand…”
