When it comes to celebrating a milestone, Jamie Carragher certainly knows how to make it memorable.
For his daughter Mia’s 21st birthday, the former Liverpool defender ditched his usual sports pundit look and went full-on Willy Wonka, turning the party into a fun and unforgettable event.
A Colorful Night Filled with Fancy Dress and Family Fun
Jamie, 46, surprised everyone by showing up in a purple velvet coat, a classic top hat, and an oversized bow tie, fully embracing the quirky chocolatier vibe from the beloved film. The pa
rty was a lavish affair with Mia dressed as Poison Ivy, surrounded by friends and family enjoying the celebration.
Sharing moments from the party on Instagram, Jamie proudly posted photos and videos, captioning it with pure joy and some fun emojis.
But it wasn’t just the outfit that caught attention—he even grabbed the microphone to perform the iconic “Pure Imagination” song from the 1971 Willy Wonka movie, really getting into character.
Family Joins the Festivities with Style
The party wasn’t just about Jamie and Mia. His son James, who plays professionally for Wigan Athletic, also embraced the fancy dress theme, channeling a Peaky Blinders look complete with a three-piece suit, flat cap, and pocket watch.
Clearly, the Carragher family knows how to make an entrance!

A Heartwarming Live TV Moment with Dad
Last month, Mia made a cute surprise appearance while Jamie was working as a pundit for CBS during the Champions League coverage.
After Jamie’s phone rang live on air, he answered with a warm “Hiya babe, are you okay? I’m on TV.”
The lighthearted moment included jokes from co-host Micah Richards and a playful exchange where Mia apologized for interrupting the broadcast, admitting she didn’t realize her dad was live on air.
When asked what Jamie is like at home, Mia’s sweet answer — “He is lovely” — sparked an “aww” from the studio audience.
Jamie wrapped up the moment by expressing his love for her, saying, “There is nothing this girl can ever do wrong.
I can’t ever shout at her, I find it hard to shout at you don’t I?”
