THIS Morning host Dermot O’Leary left the show’s resident chef cringing after calling her out on a massive Eurovision blunder.
, 51, pointed out ‘s faux pas as she got ready to whip up a plate of themed ‘nibbles’ for this weekend’s contest.
Clodagh, 49, lifted up her plate and showed off a selection of traditional small bites from various competing nations.
But as she pointed to one of her savoury Danish pastries, Dermot asked: “Why has it got a Spanish flag on?”;;
Clodagh insisted the pastries were sporting a Danish flag, telling him: “It isn’t, it’s Danish.”;;
Dermot replied: “I’m pretty sure that’s the Spanish flag.”;;
Clodagh picked up one of her pastries that was sporting a little red and white flag to give it a closer look.
Looking embarrassed, she laughed: “I wasn’t in charge of the flags!”;;
Dermot was in fact correct. Clodagh’s Danish pastries were decorated with mini yellow and red Spanish flags.
The Danish flag is red with a white cross on.
Dermot apologised to his co-star for embarrassing her over the blunder live on .
“Sorry... I just wanted to...”;; he said.
However, when they returned for Clodagh’s cooking segment later in the show, Dermot couldn’t help but mention it again.
The Spanish flags had been swapped for the correct Danish flags.
Gesturing to her savoury pasties, he said: “Got the flag right.”;;
Clodagh laughed: “We quickly swapped it out!”;;
Fans were quick to comment on the big mistake after tuning in to Friday’s episode of This Morning.
One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “She proudly holds it up, still convinced it’s a Danish flag—bless.”;;
Another posted of both the Spanish and Danish flags along with a ‘crying with laughter’ face.
“They’re almost identical,”;; they mused.
Agreeing, another wrote: “Seriously though... How can you confuse these two?”;;
Meanwhile, Dermot was joined on Friday’s This Morning by due to a last minute presenter shake-up.
Lisa was drafted in at the last minute after Alison phoned in sick.
but Lisa told viewers: “She’s had a major allergic reaction. She looks and feels terrible.”;;
