Aston Merrygold made a rather unfortunate blunder following his interview on Scott Millsâ BBC Radio 1 show, accidentally thanking his co-host Comedy Dave.
The same Comedy Dave who used to be Chris Moylesâ right-hand man⊠until he left five years ago.
The former JLS singer was appearing on Radio 1 on Monday afternoon (14 August) to confirm rumours that he would be appearing on this yearâs series of âStrictly Come Dancingâ.
He wrote on his Twitter page shortly after the interview: âAlways good to see @scott_mills and Comedy Dave, and all the @BBCR1 lot, thanks for having me!â
However, it didnât take long for Astonâs fans to notice heâd got the name of Scottâs co-host wrong, quickly taking to his mentions to point out the mistake:
For the record, Scottâs show is actually co-hosted by Chris Stark, who wasted no time in making fun of the mistake, retweeting this rather appropriate âOnly Fools And Horsesâ joke:
He also changed his Twitter name to âComedy Daveâ, sharing one cheeky post that simply said: âRebranding.â
Comedy Dave, or Dave Vitty as heâs actually known these days, also got in on the fun, joking: âYouâre confusing me for my better looking younger brother.. but itâs very flattering Aston!â
Aston has since deleted his original tweet, and published the same tweet again... this time with the right name, though.
Donât worry, Aston. No one noticed...
During the interview, Chris commented that Aston might be a bit of an unfair advantage over his âStrictlyâ competitors, due to his own dance background.
However, Aston insisted: â[âStrictlyâ] is ballroom. That isnât anything to do with what I do.â
The former âX Factorâ runner-up is the eighth name confirmed for this yearâs series, with The Saturdays singer Mollie King, âEastEndersâ hunk Davood Ghadami, ITV daytime star Ruth Langsford and âSunday Brunchâ presenter Simon Rimmer also hitting the dance floor this year.
