BBC Breakfast meteorologist Matt Taylor was left red-faced on Tuesday’s show.
Rick Astley was a guest on the latest edition of the U.K. morning program, with presenter Charlie Stayt asking Taylor whether he was a fan of the “Never Gonna Give You Up” singer.
Unaware that Astley was listening in ahead of his appearance on the show, Taylor said: “Err, not a massive one.”
“That was the wrong thing to say,” Stayt laughed. “He’s listening and he’s coming up in just a moment.”
The host then said, “I’ll ask you again. Are you a Rick Astley fan?”
Much more enthusiastically, Taylor then replied: “Love Rick Astley. Best! Grew up with him!”

"Matt are you a @rickastley fan?"

Taylor then posted on Twitter:
Note to self …
Charlie isn’t always trying to make me do something silly, like sing, on air (hence my response)AND MORE IMPORTANTLY
Make sure you check who is on the programme after you 🙈🙈🙈 https://t.co/VpkKjIuSgh
