Katie Morley and Lucy Fisher were left red-faced after they both made an appearance on Sky News on Thursday morning.
Sat behind a desk, the duo couldn’t help laughing after it became clear they were wearing identical outfits.
Both had chosen red tops and a black blazer, and because they both had long blonde hair, they looked more like twins than colleagues.
Ms Fisher even went so far as to laughingly brand herself and Ms Morley “dorks” for the gaffe.
Keeping her cool despite the mishap, presenter Isabel Webster complimented them both on their choice.
She joked: “I’m glad that you spoke to each other on the phone and arranged each other’s outfits in advance!
“You actually look like sisters, but we can confirm you’re not related.”
Her co-host Stephen Dixon continued: “Katie’s got a ponytail so you’ll be able to tell them apart.”
Twitter went wild for the duo, with one person writing: “Love this. @LOS_Fisher & @KatieMorley_ on #skypapers after being complimented for arranging their outfits in advance [sic].”
Responding to the post, Ms Morley joked: ‘what dorks.’
One wrote: “Is there a dress code for the paper review this morning?”
Lucy and Katie were on Sky News to discuss the decision to allow women to wear jumpsuits at horse racing event Ascot.
The gaffe was not the only live news error to go viral this week – a hilarious BBC News showed the moment a serious debate on South Korea was interrupted when the expert’s kids came crashing into the room.
The gaffe occurred when Professor Robert Kelly was being interviewed live about the current political climate in South Korea and the removal of their President, Park Geun-hye.
In the middle of addressing the presenter’s very serious questions via a webcam interview, Robert – who is the Professor of Political Science at Pusan National University in South Korea – was interrupted as his adorable toddler came bursting into the room for some attention.
Robert, visibly stressed by the awkward gatecrashing, tried to blindly push the child back out of the shot only for a baby to come waddling in after their elder sibling.
