    Many of us have embarrassed ourselves at school when accidentally calling our teachers "mum" or "dad".<\/p>\n

    But unfortunately for Sky News presenter Mark Austin, the moment he suffered a similar slip of the tongue was caught on live television.<\/p>\n

    Even experienced newsreaders like Mark will fall victim to an awkward blunder once in a while, but we're pretty sure forget this one for a while as it's gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n

    Austin appeared on The News Hour with Mark Austin this week and was introducing an expert due to give viewers a breakdown of the Daniel Khalife case.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    21-year-old terror suspect Khalife, who was caught and arrested on Saturday (September 9), had been the subject of a nation-wide manhunt at the time.<\/p>\n

    But before Austin and expert Danny Shaw started chatting about the case, the presenter accidentally confused his name and called him "daddy".<\/p>\n

    "<\/span>Let\u2019s bring in policing commentator Danny Shaw, who joins us now," he announced before swinging around in his chair to face the interviewee.<\/p>\n

    But Austin put his foot in it when he continued: "Good evening, daddy," before swiftly correcting himself, saying: "Danny,".<\/span><\/p>\n

    He then added: "<\/span>Thank you for being with us," before moving on with the segment like a professional.<\/p>\n

    The host managed to brush over his mistake and neither men addressed the slip-up during the segment, but viewers couldn't help giggling about it on social media.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "I could watch Mark Austin saying hello to his Daddy all day," one joked on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

    A second commented: "Mark Austin just called this man \u201cDaddy\u201d during the man hunt coverage on Sky News,"<\/p>\n

    Another said: "Not Mark Austin calling someone daddy instead of Danny on Sky News."<\/p>\n
