Richard Madeley suffered an epic name blunder with Jeremy Clarkson on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Celebrity.

The Good Morning Britain presenter was the latest star to test out their quizzing chops on Sunday night's episode (October 16) of the classic ITV game show.

He might be a veteran broadcaster with years of practice reading teleprompters and interviewing leading politicians, but it seems he struggles with names as he appeared to forget who Jeremy Clarkson was.

Madeley accidentally called host Jeremy "Chris", confusing him for former show host Chris Tarrant, who led the show from 1984 to 2004.

Richard had just been asked his second question of the game, which read: "Which of these abbreviations is used when someone wants something done immediately?"

With confidence, he replied: "I shall answer 'As Soon As Possible', Chris, it's 'A'. Final answer."

And Jeremy was quick to hit back after being mistaken for his predecessor, because he branded Richard "senile".

The Top Gear star corrected Richard: "I'm not Chris," before quipping: "You look young but still a little senile….", which prompted laughs from the audience.

Madeley himself saw the funny side of it as he giggled and joked that age was "setting in".

Clarkson's Farm star Jeremy couldn't help laughing too and he declared: "This is gonna be great, this is!"

In fact, Madeley got off to a rocky start just minutes into the episode as he entered the studio and seemed to forget where he was meant to sit.
