Steve Jones was forced to backtrack during his appearance on The One Show after correcting presenter Jermaine Jenas live on air.
The Welsh presenter appeared on the famous green sofa on Tuesday (July 4) evening to promote his new book.
However, conversation turned to his predictions for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend.

BBC star Jermaine asked: “What are your predictions? Has Lewis got a chance at least at home?”
Steve replied: “Expect the worst, hope for the best but I don’t think Lewis is going to do it this year but hey he’s Lewis Hamilton the guy’s incredible and something might happen.”

Jermaine replied: “He came close last year you never know.”
After mishearing his answer, Steven replied: “The year before I think it was. Carlos Sainz came first last year, didn’t he.”
Jeramine’s co-host Alex Jones joined in the conversation and playfully added: “Come on JJ, get it right.”
“I hate to correct you when your on show but.,” Steve continued.
Jermaine responded “Close, I said he came close.”
“Sorry I thought you said he won,” after realising his mix-up..
“No i said he came close.,” Jermaine reassured.
“You’ve redeemed yourself,” Alex joked.
It comes after Jermaine pulled a prank of Steps legend Claire Richards live on air during Monday’s (July 3) show.
On her new album, the singer has covered one of music icon Karen Carpenter’s songs.
During the conversation, Alex brought up the fact Claire was a superfan of Karen’s and the pop star confessed to a few surprising things.
Alex said to the star: “It’s fair to say you’re not just a fan of Karen Carpenter now then.
“She’s taking it so a whole new level, a superfan plus some.”
Claire interjected: “She was my specialist subject on Mastermind.”
Gasping at the confession, Alex asked: “How many did you get right?”

“All of them,” Claire grinned.
Claire then also admitted that she was dressed up as her idol for Stars In Your Eyes, where she did her best to replicate her.
This was when Jermaine took his chance to pull Claire’s leg by joking that he had some footage of her dolled up as Karen from back in the day.
Jermaine joked: “You know what we’ve got…”
At that moment, Claire’s face dropped as she panicked about what the host were about to show next.
But he soon soothed her nerves and told her: “I’m joking.”
