DERMOT O’Leary suffered an embarassing blunder during a live link today and was asked, “have you been on the fizz?”
Dermot, 49, got caught in a tongue twister auto-cue script and stumbled over his words.
Ranvir Singh, who is stepping in on hosting duties for Lorraine Kelly, caught the gaffe after handing over to This Morning‘s Dermot and Alison Hammond, who both delivered a brief rundown of what was coming up on the lunchtime show.
Ending the link, Dermot said: “He brought the house down on Britain’s Got Talent last night, and we’re joined by Ben Nickless.
“Join that, erh, for a lot more, on live, after the break.”
Alison shot Dermot a concerned look and the pair erupted into giggles.

The laughter spread to Ranvir who heard it all, and she joked: “What happened there, have you been on the fizz?
“Celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee early are we, Dermot?”
Dermot shrugged his shoulders and Ranvir added: “Well, we’ll find out if he’s got any words in the right order later!”
He’s not the only one to mess up on live TV, with Alison also getting Ranvir’s name wrong earlier in the week.
Toward the end of Monday’s installment of Lorraine, Ranvir temporarily handed over to Alison and Dermot.
She said: “Alison and Dermot are here shortly. Good morning team!”
Alison, 47, replied: “Aw, thanks La Ranvir.”
When she finally returned to Lorraine, a confused Ranvir remarked: “I thought you just called me La Ranvir then!”

Alison styled it out and said: “I did. I wanted to change it up for a bit. La Ranvir!”
Alison later explained how she made the error, telling Ranvir today: “Obviously it’s Lorraine’s show, then I was about to say Lorraine, then I saw Ranvir, and it came out, La Ranvier.
“We love you La Ranvier.”
