Overview
- Charlie Stayt apologized on Friday after he accidentally thanked guest Ralf Little instead of weather presenter Matt Taylor at the end of a forecast.
- He corrected himself on air, said he was trying to choreograph the segments, and offered “apologies all round” as Naga Munchetty and Little acknowledged the confusion.
- The moment followed Matt Taylor’s weather report broadcast live from Aintree Racecourse for Ladies Day, which left the hosts switching between a remote link and the studio.
- Little was on the sofa to promote his lead role as Alec Leamas in The Spy Who Came In from the Cold, adapted for the stage by David Eldridge and directed by Jeremy Herrin.
- The production’s UK tour began on March 12 at Curve in Leicester and is set to visit 21 venues, while some coverage also noted earlier social media complaints about Munchetty’s interviewing style.
