This Morning’s Alison Hammond was left red-faced during Friday’s show after getting one of the guest’s name wrong on the ITV show.

As the programme kicked off, the presenters told viewers they’d be speaking to Hollywood stars Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Billy Bob Thornton and Ali Larter about their new show Landman.

However, as Alison started to introduce the A-list stars, she suffered an awkward moment when she mispronounced Billy Bob’s name.

She said: “Now, it doesn’t get more star-studded than today on our sofa, does it? Absolutely unbelievable, we’re very excited to be joined by Hollywood legends Demi Moore, Job Hamm, Billy Rob Thornton- sorry about that, Bob!”

Commenting on the mishap, Ali on the sofa commented: “Great start!”

Aliston quickly burst out laughing over the blunder as Dermot made a joke that the incorrect name she’d just said was also on the show. Trying to continue with the introduction, Alison added: “So sorry! Billy Bob, apologies!”

Clearly embarrassed with the mishap, she stood behind Dermot as he told viewers what their new show was about. However, he wasn’t letting his co-star get away with it that easily as he told her: “You can’t hide!”

Although the actor didn’t seem to mind as he laughed off the mistake, viewers were quick to comment on the awkward moment. One person said: “Billy Rob?[emoji]”

Another added: “Oh jeez, cringing #ThisMorning.” Someone else commented: “I’d really love to know who this “Billy Rob” bloke is, Alison!”

During their interview, Dermot asked Billy to explain more about the show and what people can expect to see. He said: “It’s about the ins and outs, the ups and downs, the good and the bad and ugly of the oil business.

“It’s how we get the oil out of the ground and how dangerous it is and the people that worked in it or around it. It’s about families that are affected by it, so it’s not just a series about oil, it’s also about the lifestyle of the people and what it does to them.

“A landman is essentially a person who procures the land to drill on and it’s not always easy. Sometimes you’re sharing that land with various characters.”

He told the ITV star his character is a go-between for the people who work in the oil company and the man who owns it. Billy added: “I’m in charge of making him money, there’s a lot of pressure on me to do that.”
