Retired adult film star Mia Khalifa was a surprise guest on Arsenal Fan TV (AFTV) back in 2019 and left host Robbie somewhat red-faced.

AFTV, created in 2012 for Arsenal fans to share their views, has over 1.6million YouTube subscribers, and has featured interviews with the likes of Olivier Giroud, Ian Wright, and Thierry Henry. However, the preview show for Arsenal's London match in January 2019 took an unexpected turn when they invited West Ham fan Mia Khalifa to discuss the upcoming game.

Robbie, unsure of how to introduce her, simply described her as a West Ham fan before proceeding with the interview.

Robbie began by saying: "Welcome along to AFTV. We've got he most off-the-hook preview of a game ever. I got an email about a month ago saying: 'Robbie, do you want to do a preview for the Arsenal vs West Ham game with Mia Khalifa?'." Before adding of his reaction: "(I thought) Mia Khalifa? (And they said) 'yeah she's a West Ham fan' and I was like 'what?' And now it's happening. We're here!"

One viewer cheekily commented on YouTube: "Robbie trying so hard to not bring up her past with porn LOOOOOOOL. 'Mia Khalifa? ...... She's a West Ham fan.' HAHAHAHAHAHA." She then explained why she supports the Hammers, having started attending games in recent seasons after supporting them from afar.

Who do you think will win between David Moyes' West Ham and Mikel Arteta's Arsenal this weekend? Let us know in the comments section.

"My team for hockey is the Capitals, for American football is the Redskins, for basketball is the Wizards and the Nationals for baseball," she explained. Robbie replied: "All DC based, all Washington teams. I just still don't get the West Ham thing, though."

Mia, who turns 31 years old today (Saturday, February 10), added: "Well if my other teams tell you anything, it's that I love teams that suck. The same reason every American knows anything about West Ham or Premier League soccer from Green Street Hooligans." She had previously said: "I watched Green Street hooligans when I was young and ever since then I've loved West Ham.

"I haven't been to any games, that was actually my first time ever in England when I was there. I could see the stadium from where I was at the top of the tower, it looked a little far away. I would love to (attend a game), I actually plan on going back to do a food tour there. And I'm going to make it line up with a match that I can go and see."

West Ham went on to win the game 1-0 at the London Stadium five years ago. Declan Rice, who left the Hammers for the Gunners last summer in a deal worth 105m, scored the winner his first West Ham goal.

Despite only being in the industry for three months, West Ham fan Mia became one of the most viewed performers ever, and still holds notoriety to this day. After leaving her previous job, she became a social media star and decided to focus on sports, now boasting a whopping 27million followers on Instagram.

West Ham host Arsenal tomorrow (Sunday), with kick off at 2pm at the London Stadium. And Mia will most likely be keeping a close eye on the score, and to see if Rice comes back to haunt his old team. However, he's already experienced pain once there this season, as Arsenal lost their Carabao Cup third round tie 3-1 at West Ham back in October.
