Reporting the news that Lenny Henry has been awarded a knighthood for his services to drama and charity, ITV have been ridiculed for accidentally using footage of a completely different person entirely.

Images of celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott performing on a Comedy Store stage were broadcast instead, later prompting an apology from ITV.

As is often the case, Twitter seized upon the error, with a series of ironic tweets quickly doing the rounds.
