Lorraine Kelly red-faced in Euro 2024 fan gaffe as she's called out on air

Lorraine Kelly was left flustered while speaking to footy fans in Munich as her beloved Scotland team took to the pitch to take on Germany in the Euro 2024 opener.

With Lorraine out of the country for her new role as a sports correspondent, Ranvir Singh stepped in to keep the show running in her absence. Things took a briefly awkward turn when the Scottish daytime TV presenter called a pundit by the wrong name.

Enthusiastically introducing the segment where the ITV presenter spoke to revellers who travelled to Germany for the match, he said: "Lorraine's fans have been well-behaved so far, unleash them, unleash them on us now, go."

The camera then switched to Munich where Lorraine was seen surrounded by a group of enthusiastic supporters who had travelled 824 miles - using various modes of transport - to support their nation, reports the Express.

"Well, as you know, we were talking about Craig's journey," Lorraine mentioned, referring to Craig Ferguson, 20, who embarked on the incredible 1000-mile trip from Hampden Stadium last month.

"Where's Callum?" Lorraine called out to the crowd before being corrected by Callum, whose actual name was Connor. The crowd burst into laughter as they teased and made fun of Lorraine's mistake, leaving her blushing.

"I'm doing it wrong all the time.," she said. "I've been doing it wrong all the time," before jokingly adding: "I nearly called you Shirley." After brushing off her mistake, the 64 year-old continued her interview, asking Connor to tell her about his journey to Munich.

The passionate football fan described his unbelievable trek to the German city: "So I got a cruise from Sydney to Singapore, bought a bike in Singapore, cycling from Singapore to China. Got a couple of trains through China, cycled into Kazakhstan."

"From Kazakhstan into Kyrgyzstan from Kyrgyzstan into Uzbekistan," highlighted Lorraine, noting: "All the Stans then." Connor went on: "Azerbaijan, cycled from Azerbaijan into Georgia and into Turkey and then me and my dad have driven from Turkey, through Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and..." but was cut off by an enthusiastic Lorraine who exclaimed: "And now you're here!"

Remarkably, even after travelling all the way from Australia, Connor arrived without a ticket for the game, which led Lorraine to appeal to the audience to offer him one.
