The Kardashian viewers couldn't help by cringe as they reacted to the 'most awkward 10 minutes of television ever' as Lamar Odom returned to the show to talk to ex-wife Khloe Kardashian.
The latest series of the fan-favourite reality series returned with former characters as basketball star Lamar, 45, reunited with Khloe, 40. The former couple married in 2009 a month after meeting at a lavish party for his Lakers team-mate Ron Artest.
Original fans of the Kardashians know all about their relationship, thanks to E! airing all their behind-the-scenes challenges on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and spin-off series, Khloe & Lamar. Their romance was filled with endless struggles and Khloe filed for divorce in 2013 when Lamar was arrested for drunk driving.
Two years later, the sports star was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel and was left in a coma and on life support. Khloe pushed back the divorce to look after him before refiling again in 2016 - with their divorce being finalised later that same year. And now, fans got a sense of deja vu as Lamar returned to their screens.

The premiere episode had Khloe thinking about her relationship with Lamar when best friend Malika Haqq announced she ran into him at the Super Bowl. Khloe then reveals she still has some of his personal things, including his 6th Man of the Year Award, which has her make the decision to return the items.
With Malika's help, a reunion was set up and Lamar soon arrived with cake, champagne, and flowers. The nervous star tried to sit next to his ex-wife, with Khloe joking: "You’re going to sit this close? How are we going to talk to each other?" Their conversation began with small talk as he asked about Rob Kardashian.
Later on, a sweaty Lamar admitted: "I haven’t seen you in so long, you make me nervous." Khloe revealed they last saw each other when she was 'kicking him out of the Calabasas house' in 2016. Speaking in the confessional, Khloe said: "Just in this first glance of seeing Lamar, I feel a little bit of, ‘God, this is so familiar,’ and so uncharted at the same time. I don’t know this person anymore. It’s just such a mindf**k."
The star invited him over to return some of his personal items
Back in the room, Khloe gifted Lamar a sweet present, a diamond chain with three angel wings to symbolise his late mother, grandmother and son, who tragically passed away as an infant. She also returned his mother's driver's license and his 6th Man Award. During their conversation, Lamar blurted out: "My wife is the s**t."
She said in the confessional: "I have dealt with so much trauma in this relationship, and this was such the love of my life. To learn how to unlove someone, to have to go through that - it’s almost like a death. So him calling me his wife, I mean, words are empty.” An emotional Lamar then said he 'took her through a lot'. Khloe said: "It wasn’t the easiest time," before Lamar responded: "I f***ed up… with you. I love you for trying your hardest with me, and that love I don’t think will ever go away. I know it won’t."
Fans reacted to the reunion on social media as one said: "Oh that was a hard one for Lamar as much as I feel for him but yhooo he’s put Khloe through so much. And that scene was so awkward and painful". Another said: "This conversation between Khloe & Lamar is so awkward & he is sweating so much #TheKardashians".
While others said they felt emotional after watching the scenes. One said: "I’m full on sobbing at @khloekardashian and Lamar’s meet up. Lost it when he mentioned how much her son looks like him. Khloe you are one strong woman. I aspire to take on life’s challenges the way you do. wow #TheKardashians". Another added: "I hate that Khloe and Lamar went through all the struggles they did. U can tell he still loves her and she still loves him. I wish they could make it work, it’s been yrs they both have grown. She will never have another love like Lamar and vice versa #TheKardashians".
