Sherwood interrupted host Julian Warren with his laughter as he watched the hilarious moment that Northampton's mascot appeared to dive after being shoved by a Derby player.

The incident occurred when Derby won a corner and Rams star Nathaniel Mendez-Laing tried to retrieve the ball off Northampton mascot Clarence The Dragon.

The fan-favourite mascot playfully dropped the ball away from Mendez-Laing, leading the 31-year-old forward to lightly shove him.

Clarence The Dragon then decided to play up to the push and jokingly fell to the ground.

After throwing himself down the character then began rolling around as if he had been fouled.

The funny exchange left the Sky Sports studio in floods of laughter while Warren commended on the antics of the mascot.

He said: "That is brilliant! Clarence The Dragon take a bow!"

Things worked out on the pitch for Northampton Town too as they wound up shock winners over Derby during the League One clash.
