Anton du Beke was left red-faced on Good Morning Britain.
During a live interview, he attempted to ask Charlotte Hawkins a questions about her time on Strictly Come Dancing. However, all didn't go to plan as he momentarily forgot her name.
Despite his best efforts to brush off the slip-up, presenters Ranvir Singh and Richard Madeley were quick to pick him on the mistake.
'You were about to call her Mollie,' Ranvir laughed – a nod back to when Strictly judge Shirley Ballas accidentally called Charlotte 'Mollie' a couple of weeks ago, perhaps? Then, the cameras panned to Charlotte, who gave an awkward smile.
Poor Anton then tried again to move the conversation on, talking about how some celebrities struggle on Strictly to remember routines.
Never one to miss an opportunity, Richard then made a playful dig at the dancer, quipping, 'So you must have a lot of sympathy for people like Mollie over there?'
Oops!
Anton is Ruth Langsford's professional dance partner in this year's Strictly.
Giving some insight into what it's like to work with the This Morning presenter, Anton explained that Ruth can sometimes struggle with her nerves, which leads to her forgetting routines.
'Speak to anyone that's ever done [Strictly],' Anton said. 'When you get nervous, they announce your name to come on and suddenly your legs go and you can't feel anything from your waist down. I've been so nervous that my mind has gone blank for 45 minutes before!
'In the first week when we danced the tango, I put my hand out to take hold of Ruth and she completely froze. She couldn't remember the steps! But it was okay in the end.'
Anton appeared on Good Morning Britain to promote his new album From the Top.
The record is available to pre-order now, but will officially be released later next month.
Good Morning Britain airs on weekdays from 6am on ITV.
