The VERY awkward moment Channel Nine sports reporter Danika Mason mispronounces AFL star Karmichael Hunt’s surname (and no prizes for guessing what she said)

Channel Nine sports reporter Danika Mason has spoken about the awkward moment she mispronounced AFL star Karmichael Hunt’s surname.

The presenter told Triple M’s Moonman in the Morning on Friday that she once she accidentally introduced footy player as Karmichael C**t during a live cross in 2016.

‘A couple of years ago I was doing a live cross and I had to say Karmichael Hunt but I said his name incorrectly,’ she said.

She continued: ‘I actually didn’t realise I had said it. I went through with the live cross and it was Saturday afternoon so I went out for drinks in Bondi and I started getting all these text messages.’

‘One of my friends sent me a text message saying: “Don’t worry about it, the best in the business have done it. Are you all good?”‘

‘Then she asked “You haven’t seen Twitter have you?” And when someone says that to you, your stomach drops.’

Danika went on to say every time she says Karmichael Hunt’s name, she now ‘stops and gives herself three seconds’.

This isn’t the first time a Channel Nine presenter has suffered a embarrassing gaffe.

Last year, veteran reporter Peter Overton was left embarrassed after he called his co-host Natalia Cooper by the wrong name.

After reading information about stock market and petrol prices, Peter introduced the weather presenter.

‘Here’s Amber,’ he said while crossing over to the weather segment.

The veteran newsreader immediately realised his mistake and corrected: ‘Oh Natalia, Natalia!’

The stunned 35-year-old weather presenter gasped in shock before assuring Peter she wasn’t offended by his mistake.

‘It’s alright. Not a problem Pete,’ Natalie said as she laughed.

The blonde beauty appeared to quickly move on from the embarrassing encounter as she started to read the weather forecast.
