But she also put her mistakes down to her age. Actor Max Beesley who was also on the sofa alongside Bel admitted that he had made a similar mistake in the past when he accidentally called Jack Duckworth actor Bill Tarmey by his Coronation Street's character name.Later on in the programme, the blunders seemed to keep on coming for Alex.While having a look at the new BBC News studio with presenter Huw Edwards, Alex almost fell off her chair.As she made her way to the new studio, Alex chimed "I am here everybody.""Hello Huw," she said before almost falling off her chair and shrieking in shock.
