The One Show: Alex Jones suffers awkward Joss Stone gaffe

Alex struggled with Joss Stone's name!

Alex Jones suffered an awkward blunder on The One Show last night after pronouncing a guest’s name wrong.

The presenter welcomed singer Joss Stone onto Wednesday evening’s show alongside co-host Jermaine Jenas.

Joss was on the programme to tell viewers about her return to The Masked Singer this weekend for the final.

Instead of saying Joss, Alex pronounced it as “Josh”.

She said: “We’re going to chat about The Masked Singer a little bit later but we’ve got to chat about the BRITs.

“You’ve won two BRIT [Awards] in your career and Adele has won three.”

She added: “Now you’re a huge Adele fan, like we all are of the Adele.”

Joss replied: “Oh yeah I know. And do you know what’s really maddening is that I can’t get the BRITs over here so I now need to go online and search her performance.

“I want to see her performance. Oh my God, she’s such an amazing singer.”

Alex then turned to fellow guest Mel Giedroyc and said: “See now because Josh…” before realising her mistake.

Trying again, Alex said “Josh” a second time.

Slapping her thigh, she said: “Josh?! Joss…”

Joss quipped: “I answer to both, it’s fine.”

Alex admitted: “It’s hard to say!” as she, Jemaine, Mel and Joss burst into laughter.

One said: “Joss Stone is SO LOVELY. And always so smily and positive, but not in the fake way.”
