Sharapova, 38, retired from professional tennis in February 2020, following a career which saw her win a career Grand Slam with five major titles.

A short teaser from the episode went viral after it was shared on social media.

In the clip, the Russian was seen holding a handkerchief to wipe her eyes.

She was then asked whether she would rather be partnered with a cherry picker or a poacher.

Confused by the meaning, she replied: “What the f*** is a cherry picker? Can I swear on this show?”

Host Evans laughed and told her she could “let it fly”.

Sharapova then said: “I’ll say cherry picker, it sounds better.”

In the full episode, after she tried the famously difficult Da Bomb sauce – which has over 135,000 heat units – she said: “Yeah. The tears are coming. Oh s***, wow. Oh my gosh. In my eye.”

Sharapova also revealed what a more effective serve type was out of a kick serve or a body serve.

She said: “A body serve. It just goes straight at you. It’s not good. Especially for men.”

Since retiring from tennis, Sharapova has mainly focused on her family and business ventures.
