Rylan explains THAT awkward Strictly gaffe on This Morning

Who's in the final again, Ry?

Rylan made an error on today’s This Morning, which left fans slightly less than pleased, shall we say!

The showbiz presenter had been discussing the upcoming Strictly Come Dancing final – you may have heard of it – which takes place this weekend.

However, when he was reading out who the finalists were, he was ticking along fine – mentioning Joe McFadden, Debbie McGee and Alexandra Burke.

But he incredibly forgot to mention one of the finalists – Manchester’s finest, Gemma Atkinson, and her dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec!

Viewers weren’t happy with the mistake, and immediately took to Twitter to voice their displeasure.

One wrote: “Shame on you Rylan! You forgot about Gemma Atkinson in the Strictly final tomorrow.”

And another said: “@thismorning Just watching and rylan talking about strictly, he said final was between debbie alexandra and joe, he didn’t mention gemma at all” followed by a string of angry-faced emojis.

Rylan, to give him his due, was quick to realise his mistake, and sent a tweet out himself explaining the mix-up – blaming the voices in his head (kind of.)

He said: “Someone was chatting in my ear that was freezing. Of course the lovely @MissGAtkinson and @AljazSkorjanec are in the @bbcstrictly final as well! Can’t wait to watch x.”

This isn’t even the first eyebrow-raising moment seen on This Morning today.

First, fans were baffled at the appearance of Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield – who normally take a break on Fridays, but were present for hosting duty today.

Next, Holly put her foot in it again by asking a clearly confused Amanda Holden about her go-to rules at Christmastime.

But a mystified Amanda had to admit she didn’t have a clue what Holly was on about, and must be confusing her with another guest!

Rylan also announced he was taking a break from the show for a few weeks, saying that after Christmas he was “taking a little break,” but not specifying if and when he’d be back.

Come back soon, Rylan!
