Facepalm! Corrie’s Leanne schools the RTÉ Guide after Twitter eff-up

You know how awkward it is to call someone by the wrong name? Well imagine doing something very similar, but on a much grander scale.

Done it? OK, you're now a lot closer to imagining the face-palming that went on in RTÉ offices yesterday afternoon when Coronation Street star, Jane Danson, pulled their publication up on an error.

After interviewing the popular actress for the RTÉ Guide, they took to Twitter to share the good news with followers, and majorly effed-up in the process – something which didn't go unnoticed by the star herself.

"We chat to@bbceastenders star @RealJaneDanson as she tells us what's in store when Leanne Battersy announces her pregnancy," they wrote in the now infamous post.

Copping their mistake, Jane responded, writing: "Erm I think you mean Coronation Street! I mean I have only been there 20 years!!"

She then went on to retweet the Guide's post on her own page, joking: "They had one job."

With people ripping it out of the Guide online, they quickly responded to Jane writing: "@RealJaneDanson oops!!! Sorry! Gonna blame baby brain for that! D'oh!"

Oh, the humanity.
