Susanna Reid was forced to apologise for her co-host Ed Balls’ awkward blunder live on-air during Monday’s episode of Good Morning Britain.
The presenter, 52, was hosting the ITV show alongside the ex politician, 56, when he made an identity error.
The pair were talking about Sunday’s BAFTAs which Susanna attended and while there, she was joined by Damian Lewis, 52, in a clip which aired on the show.
But Ed was most confused by who she was with.
He said: ‘Was that Benedict Cumberbatch you were with?’ leaving Susanna in shock

She quickly answered back: ‘No, that was Damian Lewis.’
‘In that case move on,’ Ed retorted.
Susanna was forced to apologise and said: ‘Sorry Damian, if you’re not Benedict Cumberbatch he doesn’t want anything to do with you.’
Ed agreed playfully and said: ‘Nothing.’
Susanna oozed sophistication in the black gown which hugged every inch of her jaw-dropping figure at the weekend event.
Her strapless gown was adorned with perfectly placed diamond embellishments and showed off her toned arms.
She carried the sparkle into her accessories with pointed silver heels and dangling diamond earrings.
Sporting a radiant palette of make-up for the evening, Susanna wore her caramel tresses in loose waves.
Kate Winslet was awarded Best Actress for her critically-acclaimed performance in I Am Ruth, and during her speech she paid tribute to her co-star and daughter Mia Threapleton.

While Anne-Marie Duff was awarded Supporting Actress for Bad Sisters, the viewer-voted BAFTA for the The P&O Cruises Memorable Moment Award was given the moment Paddington Bear enjoyed tea with The Queen during her Platinum Jubilee concert.
Ben, who won critical acclaim for his performance as NHS junior Adam Kay in This Is Going To Hurt, was awarded the Best Actor prize, beating out competition including Gary Oldman, Martin Freeman, Cillian Murphy and Chaske Spencer.
On stage, the actor, 42, said: ‘Oh goodness me, I really didn’t think that would happen and I love so much the actors in this category.’
Whishaw also said ‘everybody in the show is just mind-blowing’ and ‘most of all thank you, Adam Kay, for writing this wonderful role. I’m very humbled, and blessed.’
The medical drama is based on Kay’s book This Is Going To Hurt: Secret Diaries Of A Junior Doctor which chronicles his work training to be a doctor in the NHS.
The night also saw Sir Mo Farah win for his BBC One documentary The Real Mo Farah which revealed he had been illegally trafficked to the UK as a child.
