We're all capable of making complete and utter fools of ourselves especially when it comes to unfortunate slips of the tongue.
This includes experienced TV presenters like Richard Osman, who you'll probably recognise from quiz shows like Pointless, as well as producing shows such as 8 out of 10 Cats and Total Wipeout.
In a tweet posted on May 2, 2018, he explained how he once got stuck between two different sentences when talking to some contestants led to an embarrassing moment.
Talking to two contestants. I got caught between saying “Good luck guys” and “Good luck gents”, and ended up saying “Good luck gays”.— Richard Osman (@Richard Osman) 1525270688
Yeah, that's problematic for more than one reason...
Anyway, this admission from Osman inspired others to share their most unfortunate faux pas, as many of them were utterly excruciating.
