We’ve all made embarrassing mistakes in our life, and this time around, it was the turn of ITV, who mistakenly posted footage of Ainsley Harriot whilst showing a news item on Lenny Henry’s knighthood.

The new recipient of the highly renowned honour was at Windsor Castle to collect his title at a ceremony this week for his services to drama and charity.

However, ITV managed to make the biggest of gaffes when showing what was supposed to be a montage of Sir Lenny’s career, but instead added a skit of Ainsley Harriot dancing quite peculiarly on stage at ‘The Comedy Store’.

ITV were quick to apologise over the mistake with neither Sir Lenny Henry or Ainsley Harriot have commented on the situation as of yet.

Congratulations go to Lenny on receiving his much deserved knighthood.
