Gary Lineker was left red-faced on Friday night when he stole
Danny Dyer's lines from the autocue.
The veteran television presenter and former sportsman stumbled through his own words before reading right through to EastEnders actor
Danny's emotional speech.
In his embarrassment,
Gary quickly admitted to the gaffe with a hand over his mouth and exclaimed: 'Oh, that's Danny's bit.'

Little Britain's
David was all-too quick to jump in his grave and shouted: 'You didn't go to Sierra Leone, you were sitting at home!'
And when a red-faced Gary tried to recover, David continued: '
Alright, you've dug yourself a
hole, just shut up.'
The show even saw Gary cross-dress as a woman during a Little Britain style skit featuring
Peter Crouch.
After the show, David continued to have his say on Twitter when he quipped: 'I loved co-presenting @sportrelief on @BBCOne with the great @GaryLineker but the best moment by far was the autocue cock-up with @MrDDyer !' .
