In an unexpectedly candid moment on Tuesday's Loose Women, presenter Stacey Solomon found herself in a social pickle after a well-intentioned comment about fellow TV personality David Walliams went awry.
The incident unfolded during a discussion about Walliams' recent endeavours. Solomon, aiming to praise the comedian, mistakenly attributed the BBC programme 'Sort Your Life Out' to him. The show is, in fact, fronted by lifestyle guru Stacey Solomon herself.
A Swift and Public Mea Culpa
Realising her error shortly after the broadcast, Solomon took immediate action. She turned to her substantial social media following to issue a direct and unreserved apology to Walliams.
"David, I am so sorry," she wrote in a post that quickly garnered attention. "I have no idea why I said that. My brain is absolute mashed potato. I promise I'll do better." The self-deprecating remark about her 'mashed potato' brain was met with amusement and sympathy from her fans.
Viewers React to the On-Air Blunder
The gaffe did not go unnoticed by the ITV show's audience. Many took to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to point out the mistake, with one user quipping, "Stacey Solomon telling David Walliams he should do 'Sort Your Life Out'... the show she presents... is peak chaos."
Another viewer echoed the sentiment, highlighting the irony of the situation: "Stacey Solomon recommending her own TV show to David Walliams is the most Stacey Solomon thing ever."
Despite the mix-up, the general consensus among fans was one of affection for the presenter, with many praising her quick and good-humoured apology.
