The presenter, 52, was presenting the ITV show alongside the ex-politician, 56, when he made an identity mistake.
The pair talked about Sunday’s BAFTAs that Susanna attended and while she was there she was joined Damian Lewis, 52, in a clip that aired on the show.

He said, “Was that Benedict Cumberbatch you were with?” Leaving Susanna in shock
