It's been a tough general election campaign.

So you can forgive one of Sky News' top presenters for this embarrassing slip of the tongue.

In fact, it's a testament to Sophy Ridge's skill that she managed not to laugh.

The Sunday interview show host tripped up when introducing Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale.

Things were all going so swimmingly - until she called her the 'Scottish Labia' leader by accident.

Her genitalia-themed mishap did not go unnoticed on social media.

One Twitter user replied: "After this clip, 'Scottish Labia' will be the party on everybody's lips."

Another joked: "I look forward to Scottish Labia unveiling their latest celebrity supporter, Urethra Franklin."

Ms Dugdale - who sat stony-faced through the slip - said on Twitter: "Check out the poker face".

The show's Twitter account added: "Stars to Sophy Ridge and Kezia Dugdale for the straight faces. Gallery team were less successful..."

The amusing gaffe came as Sky hosted a special edition of its flagship Sunday show interviewing the all-female trio at the top of Scottish politics.

During the show, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said food bank usage was "far too high" while Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson tried to distance herself from the row over social care, saying it "isn't my policy".

It's not the first time there's been an anatomical slip of the tongue in political broadcasting.

Jeremy Hunt had the misfortune of being rudely misintroduced on the BBC's flagship morning politics show.
