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 accidentally introduced the 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 explained.

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 added that every time she says Karmichael Hunt’s name, she now ‘stops and gives herself three seconds’ to get it right.

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

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

After delivering reports about stock market and petrol prices, Peter introduced the weather presenter by saying: ‘Here’s Amber!’

He soon realised his mistake and corrected himself, saying: ‘Oh Natalia, Natalia!’

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

‘It’s alright. Not a problem Pete,’ Natalie said with a laugh.
