ROBIN Roberts has showed off her super competitive side live on Good Morning America.
The TV presenter, who celebrated her 62nd birthday on Wednesday, enjoyed a game of pickleball with Becky Worley in the studio and it got rather tense.
Pickleball is a racket/paddle sport that can be played indoors or outdoors and sees players, hit a perforated hollow polymer ball over a 36-inch-high net using solid-faced paddles.
The two women were playing the ball game in a part of the studio that was set up like a bedroom.
"You know it's the rage, apparently it's one of the biggest searches on Google!" Becky shouted out as she and Robin hit the ball back and forth.
"Oh, she's beating me already! Woah woah, okay okay ready, she's good, she's a tennis player!" Becky added as Robin had a serious look of concentration on her face.
