The mistake was made during a segment summarizing the hit BBC reality TV series, which aired the night before. The blunder was quickly noticed by eagle-eyed fans of the show.

Chaos ensues as bosses scramble to fill the empty slot

The blunder by BBC Breakfast hosts has thrown Sunday's results show into chaos as bosses scramble to fill the half-hour slot.
