Eagle-eyed viewers watching The Red Nose Day broadcast on BBC one spotted a blunder and were left in stitches.
The Red Nose Day broadcast on Friday, March 18, experienced a technical fault which meant the show had to skip past its segment with a magician. The audio from the previous segment with actors Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law replayed as the Mind Mangler from the Magic Goes Wrong theatre play took to the stage.
Presenters Alesha Dixon and Paddy McGuinness attempted to reintroduce the act before announcing it was a technical fault. Paddy joked "it's not very magic" before swiftly moving along by adding that "it doesn't matter".
