ITV This Morning's Cat Deeley shamed by Bob Geldof as he says 'who does your research'

ITV This Morning's Cat Deeley suffered an awkward blunder as she spoke to Sir Bob Geldof. The TV host chatted to the Band Aid co-founder during Tuesday's show.

But she found herself in a slightly awkward position during their interview when Sir Bob highlighted errors she had made. Cat presented the show alongside Andi Peters, who spoke to Sir Bob and Midge Ure about Band Aid's 40th anniversary.

But Cat made a slip-up, telling the audience that Band Aid and the subsequent Live Aid concerts had raised close to £2 million. After a clip of the iconic song was played, she quickly corrected herself and said: "I was supposed to say £200 million has been raised but in today's money-".

Sir Bob then stepped in, pointing out that the actual amount is closer to £480 million, Mirror reports. Cat accepted the correction while he jokingly said: "You've never done this before?"

With good humour, Cat replied: "Never, I'm a spring chicken" But her blunders continued when they went on to discuss an upcoming BBC documentary about the original Band Aid track 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'.

Sir Bob said it would be broadcast later in the week. Cat said: "On Channel 4."

But she was quickly set straight, with Bob then commenting: "No, not Channel 4, BBC Four. Who briefs you? Who does your research?! Deeley. It's BBC Four for god's sake."

Cat laughed off the mistake as she held up her briefing notes. Andi said: "Oh no, shamed by Bob Geldof live on telly, I love it!"

Despite the slip-ups, the hosts took the situation lightly, responding with laughter. The upcoming BBC Four programme will air on Friday, November 29.

It will mark the 40th anniversary of the Band Aid single. Sir Bob said: "That Sunday morning when a bunch of young spotty English pop stars who were (more or less) just out of school and had taken over the pop culture of the world, ambled up a Ladbroke Grove street in London to make a song their friends had written for the starving people of Ethiopia, they could never have understood the enormous consequences of that day.

"It was, if not exactly the 'shot that rang around the world', it certainly became, however unwittingly, 'the shout that rang around the world', culminating 20 years later in all its unlikely majesty in ultimately forcing the global political process to bend to its focused will at the Gleneagles G8 summit of 2005 and after the Live8 concerts." He said the documentary adopts a 'fly on the wall' approach, featuring footage from that day which has remained unseen until now.

Sir Bob added: "I love it because it is so... English. So guileless, so charming and yes so innocent." He added: "These rock stars piling into the control room, babies under arm - it was a Sunday, family day, chipping in, laughing, shouting suggestions, taking the p***, funny, having fun making history, on top of the world.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
