Dermot O'Leary says sorry over 'so awkward' moment with Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy on ITV This Morning

Dermot O'Leary was left cringing and issuing an apology after an 'awkward' moment with Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy on This Morning.

The TV presenter and co-host Alison Hammond were joined on the ITV daytime show by the former Westlife and Boyzone stars.

The musical pair were on the show to discuss the latest goings-on with their supergroup, Boyzlife - including the release of their new single, Burn For You.

But things didn't get off to the best starts as Brian pointed out a major error in their introduction.

Before Alison and Dermot got the chance to chat to Brian and Keith live in the This Morning, the show played out a video montage featuring some of Westlife and Boyzone's biggest hits.

Returning to the studio, Alison introduced the pair, saying: "Westlife and Boyzone combine forces once more, Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden team up for Boyzlife and they join us now.

"You just said, earlier on we played a tune, Brian…" the 47-year-old host added.

"You played You Raise Me Up. It’s the only one that I actually wasn’t in," Brian replied.

"I’d actually left the band. I was retired at that stage."

As Dermot put his head in his hands, Alison giggled over the error and tried to cover by saying; "Oh Sorry... So you saw that happening and you were like ‘Ahh why did I leave?'"

Keith then jumped in and said: "You played the one song that’s nothing to do with either of us, which is great."

"This is literally so awkward," Dermot declared as Keith and Brian laughed.

"I’m so sorry," the 48-year-old presenter added.

“21 number ones and you picked the one that we’re not part of," Keith said as they all laughed with Dermot once again covering his face.

"It is a great song though," Brian said before Keith joked: "Great research, guys. Great research."
