BBC Breakfast viewers spot awkward blunder during Toyah Willcox's Strictly interview

BBC Breakfast viewers were quick to spot a glaring error during Saturday morning's episode (September 21).

Hosts Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty had just introduced a Strictly Come Dancing segment featuring reporter David Sillito, who caught up with the contestants ahead of tonight's show.

Among the couples he interviewed were Toyah Willcox and her dance partner Neil Jones. Sillito kicked off with a question about whether the star had any "qualms" about joining the show, particularly amid allegations of bullying.

"Strictly's been in the news over the last few months. Did you have any qualms when you said yes? " he queried.

"I'm very sorry that people have had a negative experience," Toyah began. "All I can say so far: this has been the best experience of my life. We are being looked after beautifully."

However, despite the smooth interview, sharp-eyed fans noticed that Toyah's name was misspelled in the banner that appeared on top of the interview, reports the Express. Instead of Toyah Willcox, it read Toyah Wilcox with just one 'L'.

"Nice to see the item on Strictly Come Dancing. Shame the BBC got Toyah's name misspelled," commented one disgruntled viewer.

The segment later returned to Toyah and her motivations for stepping onto the Strictly dance floor. The singer and actress, who has enjoyed a 45-year career in the spotlight, said she wanted to prove age was no barrier.

"I feel young, I don't feel old and I think people want to feel that way. That's why I'm doing it, to say 'Look I'm a pensioner, if I can do it, you can do it.'"
