Singer Guy Sebastian is the second Australian star in a week to learn the hard way that live television is a dangerous business.
The X Factor judge made an embarrassing gaffe while introducing one of the acts on the live talent show.
He began by explaining how he had met the all-girl act Mahogany he had been mentoring on the show.
“Well, I met these girls on a tour that I did a little while ago, and they blew me away then, and then they walked into the audition room and blew me again,” Sebastian said, before realising what he had just said.

The Hollies will play at New Plymouth’s TSB Bowl of Brooklands on February 6 as part of a seven-stop New Zealand tour.
The show will be the third time the English rock group have performed at the Bowl, first appearing there in the mid-70s.
The New Zealand tour coincides with the release of their new compilation album, The Midas Touch, which focuses on the group’s 60s and 70s recordings.
Promoter Ian Magan, of Pacific Entertainment, described the band as “pop royalty.”
“The Hollies have a pedigree most groups can only dream of,” he said.
The band will also perform at Tauranga, Matakana, Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington and Auckland.
Unlike so many groups of their day, the Hollies have continued touring and recording with the current six-piece line up Tony Hicks, Bobby Elliott, Ray Stiles, Ian Parker, Steve Lauri and lead vocalist Peter Howarth.
The Hollies were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Among their hits are Air That I Breathe, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother, Bus Stop, Long Cool Woman and Carrie Ann.
Tickets go on sale October 9 at Ticketmaster.

Nashville indie rockers Paper Route also made a successful year out of 2009; in April they released their major label debut Absence on Universal Records – which reached 13# on the Billboard heatseekers chart – and in December they finished the year in spectacular fashion by supporting Paramore on their UK Brand New Eyes Tour. Of course, much else also happened in between!
