Lenny Henry said his mind was blown on being knighted today, and we couldn't quite believe our eyes when we watched him being interviewed on ITV

The actor was talking about the honour when the screen cut to Ainsley Harriott and Paul Boross doing their Calypso Twins routine at The Comedy Store.

"ITV News apologises for the error broadcast in the lunchtime news package today regarding Sir Lenny Henry's knighthood at the palace," an ITV News spokesperson said.

"This was the result of an error in the production process in a piece intended to celebrate Sir Lenny's significant achievements in British entertainment."

Lenny had been talking about the need for greater diversity in the media when the incident occurred.

"We've made progress as far as on-screen representation is concerned," said the actor and campaigner.

"But there's a lot of work to be done in the furthering of diversity behind the camera."
