Nick Robinson called a 'nob' on The One Show
Welsh TV presenter Alex Jones accidentally introduced the journalism heavyweight as 'Rick Nobinson'
The BBC's ex-political editor, Nick Robinson, received a surprise introduction on Friday night’s episode of The One Show.
Robinson, who retired from his role as political editor in July, fell victim to a Spoonerism from one of the programme’s longest running presenters, Alex Jones.
Jones accidentally introduced the journalism heavyweight, who is due to present BBC Radio 4's Today programme, as “Rick Nobinson”.
Fortunately, Robinson took the mistake in good humour, replying: “It could cotton on; it’s my stage name.”
Robinson appeared on the programme to discuss Labour’s leadership election.
