The One Show host Alex Jones was forced to apologise to guest Bobby Brazier after the EastEnders star called her out.
Bobby, who took time out from the soap to participate on Strictly last year, appeared on The One Show on Wednesday night (May 1) to promote his return to Albert Square.
The actor is set to be making a comeback as Freddie Slater with the character Big Mo, who hasn’t appeared on EastEnders for over a year.

Ahead of his interview on the couch, Alex said: “In a moment, we’ll be joined by Bobby Brazier as his character, Freddie Mitchell, gets ready to return to Albert Square. But first, let’s look at his story so far…”
However, after the montage played, Bobby called out Alex’s blunder. Not realising her mistake, Bobby said he portrays Freddie Slater, not Freddie Mitchell.
“By the way, by the way, it’s Freddie Slater not Freddie Mitchell! Freddie Mitchell doesn’t exist, who is that?” he said.
Alex responded: “Well, now, that is an error, isn’t it? A big apology Bobby!”
“Come on now!” Bobby equipped.
During the interview, Bobby joked about learning his lines. Co-host Jermaine Jenas insisted that he and Alex have that issue “All the time!”
“Yeah, I mean, Freddie Mitchell!” Bobby replied. In on the joke, Alex said: “You know what I mean!”
