Sunday Brunch had an awkward moment today when Tim Lovejoy forgot a former co-star's name

Actress and presenter Kellie Shirley was a guest on the show

Tim forgot they had presented together on Something For The Weekend
This week's show saw actress Kellie Shirley join Tim and his co-host Simon Rimmer in the studio.
Kellie is best known for her role in Casualty as psych liaison nurse Sophia Peters, but she's done a lot of presenting.
Back in 2009, she co-hosted Something For The Weekend on BBC Two with Tim while regular host Amanda Hamilton was on maternity leave.
But in awkward scenes, Tim appeared to completely forget this as he chatted to Kellie on Sunday Brunch.
And to make matters worse, he also got her name wrong as he introduced her.
Tim said: "We are now joined by Kellie Kay, this is your seventh time on the show."
Ever the professional, Kellie didn't correct him and simply replied: "Thank you".
During the chat, Tim said: "You probably did Something For The Weekend, didn't you?"
A perplexed Kellie, replied: "I did, we presented it together."
Tim looked astonished as he said: "Did we?" while Simon let out a telling "oooh" beside him.

Trying to rectify things, Tim said: "And Soccer AM, you were on that a lot as well" which Kellie agreed, adding it was 20 years ago.
Always ready to mock his co-star, Simon then said: "At least you remember that Tim, hey."
Trying to defend himself, Tim replied: "That was a long time ago."

Liam Neeson remembers ‘brilliant' Barbara Taylor Bradford in memorial message
The 73-year-old reflected on his role in TV drama A Woman Of Substance, adapted from one of the author's most well-known books, in the note that was read out on his behalf. Taylor Bradford died at the age of 91 on November 24 last year following a short illness, 'and was surrounded by loved ones to the very end', a spokeswoman said at the time. Actors, authors and other notable figures attended the service at St Bride's Church in Fleet Street, London, on Thursday. Neeson said in his message: 'In 1984, I had the great honour of playing Blackie O'Neill in the television adaptation of Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman Of Substance, and again in its sequel, Hold The Dream. 'It was a landmark moment — the first television drama series to reach more than 13.8 million viewers on Britain's Channel 4 — and something we were all incredibly proud of. 'But more than the numbers, it was Barbara's vision, her storytelling, and her fierce dedication to her characters that made the work so special. 'She was a force — elegant, brilliant and unstoppable — and I feel deeply privileged to have been part of bringing her words to life.' Human rights lawyer Cherie Blair, wife of former prime minister Sir Tony Blair, was also in attendance and reflected on her friendship with the author in a speech. 'I can hardly believe it's been over 20 years since I first met Barbara in New York,' she said. 'Tony and I were attending an event while he was UK Prime Minister. 'Although I can't recall the specifics of the event, I vividly remember meeting Barbara and, of course, her beloved husband, Bob (Robert Bradford). 'Meeting her was such a thrill — not only because I had read her books but also because she was a favourite author of both my mum and grandma. 'Barbara and I instantly connected as Northern girls who had ventured far from our roots, yet never forgot where we came from. 'At the time of our first meeting, Tony had not read any of Barbara's books, but he was so struck by her intelligence, elegance, and charm that he subsequently watched the TV show and read the book. 'Barbara and I stayed in touch, regularly meeting when I was in New York or when she was in London. 'One memory I treasure is attending the Women of Substance Awards with her at the Dorchester in London in 2009. 'The awards were so typical of Barbara — her unwavering support for other women was truly inspiring. She even offered me invaluable advice when I was establishing my own foundation for women. 'Barbara seemed ageless. Whenever we met, she was always engaged, well-informed, feisty and, of course, impeccably dressed. 'She was the epitome of a woman of substance — wise, fun and endlessly inspiring. We will deeply miss her warmth, wisdom and friendship.' The service began with the theme music from A Woman Of Substance and included an address from actress Jenny Seagrove, who played a young Emma Harte in the TV mini-series. In April it was announced that Vera actress Brenda Blethyn will lead a new Channel 4 adaptation of A Woman Of Substance, playing protagonist Emma. The book is a rags-to-riches tale set in the 1900s that follows the life of Yorkshire servant Emma who later heads up a business empire. Taylor Bradford was often labelled 'the grand dame of blockbusters', with her books selling more than 91 million copies and having been published in more than 40 languages and in 90 countries. Other TV adaptations of her books included ITV's Act Of Will starring Elizabeth Hurley and Victoria Tennant, and To Be The Best, a sequel to A Woman Of Substance with Lindsay Wagner and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Shameless star made OBE says Prince of Wales joked about her playing Elizabeth I
Shameless star made OBE says Prince of Wales joked about her playing Elizabeth I Anne-Marie Duff said she and the Prince of Wales laughed about her previous role Anne-Marie Duff Shameless star Anne-Marie Duff said she and the Prince of Wales laughed about her previous role playing Elizabeth I as she was formally made an OBE. Ms Duff, 54, played Fiona Gallagher in Channel 4's Shameless TV show and won a best supporting actress Bafta for her role as Grace Williams in Apple TV's series Bad Sisters. The actor also performed as Elizabeth I in the 2005 to 2006 BBC dramatisation of the monarch's life, titled The Virgin Queen. Discussing that role led William to joke "this should all be old hat for you, or something" during Wednesday's ceremony at Windsor Castle, Ms Duff said. The actor spoke to the PA news agency inside the Berkshire royal residence after being formally made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to drama. Asked if the event had been as expected having played Elizabeth I, she said: "(Windsor Castle) is like a treasure chest, isn't it? Because every piece of every room is swollen with history and art and value, so it's very specific. Article continues below "To be in this environment where people do live and do sit down and have their dinner and all of those things – you know, when you're on location, you don't really have that feeling of something like that, but this is someone's home, which is just extraordinary to me." The Virgin Queen was not filmed at royal residences for security reasons, she said. Ms Duff lives in north London and has a son with her former husband and Shameless co-star James McAvoy. She said she and the Prince of Wales discussed balancing work and parenting and "how we're all kind of the same". Her next guaranteed job is not until 2026 and she said she cannot talk about other projects that may pop up before then. "There's so much nonsense now, you can't even read scripts now without NDAs (non-disclosure agreements)", she said. "The streamers are like old Hollywood studios, it's like that, it's so bonkers, so you don't get to sort of enjoy the prelude to things with people – you can't say, oh my god, yeah, I'm going to be doing (this). You have to keep everything on the down-low." She laughed as she said: "I would love to tell you, Your Royal Highness, but ... " "There are snipers everywhere, that's what it feels like, seriously, the walls have ears", she added. Ms Duff said a play would be the "juiciest" next project for her because she prefers the "communion with people" in theatre, as well as the immediacy and "being in charge of the chronology". She said she discussed her preference for the stage with William. She told PA: "If a light bulb blows, we still go on. It's all of that and the jeopardy of it – when things go wrong, you become so resourceful and having each other's back as a company." Article continues below Asked how she felt after being formally made an OBE, Ms Duff said: "Fabulous, really lucky. You never imagine that – I think especially for people who work in the arts – you never really have a sense of what you do as having a great deal of importance or being a contribution to anything. "You're just so busy working away. It feels extraordinary to be recognised."
