When host Kirsty Young mispronounced Nicole Scherzinger’s name, spectators burst out laughing… extremely, extremely incorrect.
The Pussycat Doll is on the bill for this weekend’s music spectacle at Windsor Castle to commemorate King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s coronation.
On the list are Olly Murs, Lionel Richie, and others, who will play in front of 20,000 people and members of the Royal Family on a stunning stage.
It’s all quite thrilling, and it appears like the excitement got to Kirsty.
Nicole spoke with Jordan Banjo backstage about her performance while also teasing her clothes.
She stated that she’ll be singing Mulan’s Reflection, which will make her feel like a real-life Princess when she screams it out on the castle grounds.
The American actress was full of information when Charles and Camilla arrived, together with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Kirsty introduced the monarch and his family, saying they had come early and were ‘eager’ to get the celebration started.
‘There, of course, we see the arrival of their Majesties the King and Queen, there’s not very much that could upstage Nicole Sterchinger,’ Kirsty said, instantly realising that she’d butchered Nicole’s name.
‘You know who I mean!’, she laughed.
The host later poked fun at her blunder.
‘Very sorry to cut you off in your prime there, but I have to tell you, it was all go here,’ she told Jordan.
‘If anyone was gonna cut my time off with Nicole Scherzinger, it had to be the King,’ the Diversity star joked.
‘I couldn’t even say Nicole Scherzinger, never mind apologise for it!’, Kirsty quipped.
The blunder did not go unnoticed by spectators, with Twitter users eager to see if everyone else had caught up on her gaffe.
‘Not the presenter pronouncing Nicole Scherzinger’s name so horribly’, one viewer tweeted.
‘Did she say I can’t even say Nicole scherzinger? She just did! lol’, another mocked.
