This Morning host apologises for embarrassing slip up
Dermot O’Leary was quick to point out that the location given during Laura Hamilton’s competition segment was incorrect.
A Place in the Sun star Laura had been presenting the latest competition available to viewers.
She wasn’t far from the festival-goers at Glastonbury, as Dermot and co-host Alison Hammond had pointed out earlier in the show.
Following one competition advert, Alison told viewers: “Best of luck,” but Dermot seemed distracted.
He remarked: “Thank you – apologies for the typo there as well everyone!”
He continued: “Because it said West Midlands and she’s actually in Somerset…”
“I was about to ask to pop over,” Brummie Alison joked before adding: “But no, it’s about an hour and a half from my house.”
“Yeah that was a typo, so apologies for that,” Dermot repeated before thanking Laura.
Moving on from the awkward blunder, Alison brought attention to the next topic.

The show also suffered a mishap earlier in the month when Holly Willoughby was caught off-guard on-camera.
The programme showed Josie Gibson who was live on a canal boat speaking about ITV’s competition.
However, the hosts clearly didn’t realise they were still live on air soon after as Holly could be heard giggling.
Co-host Craig Doyle picked up the food in front of them while Holly remained in hysterics and demanded Craig to: “Put it down!”
