'I'm not Natalie' Plaid Cymru leader corrects Nuttall after he gets her name wrong TWICE
PLAID Cymru leader Leanne Wood hit out at Ukip's Paul Nuttall during a TV debate after he accidentally called her 'Natalie'.
Nuttall upsets Wood TWICE with shocking mistake
The Welsh nationalist corrected Mr Nuttall twice as he appeared to confuse her with ex-Green Party chief Natalie Bennett.
During a discussion on the impact of Brexit on the economy, the MEP said: "Natalie, we have a huge trading deficit..."
Mrs Wood then interrupted him, saying: "I'm not Natalie, I'm Leanne" to laughter and applause from the studio audience.
Will you please call me Leanne?
Mr Nuttall made the same gaffe moments later, saying: "I think that Natalie's absolutely right, what we need to do is..."
She responded: "Will you please call me Leanne?"
Caroline Lucas, Natalie Bennett's successor as Green leader, added: "She's not Natalie."

The MEP apologised for his error, saying: "My fault, sorry – I'm sorry about that."
But he was the subject of mockery on Twitter, with Mrs Bennett even taking a dig at the Brexit campaigner.
She wrote: "The only time I can recall being in the same room as Paul Nuttall was #BBCAQ in 2014. He clearly hasn't recovered."
Nuttall apologised for the gaffe but was mocked by Twitter users
Mr Nuttall used the debate to lay out Ukip's stance on a range of issues including the economy, education and Brexit.
He insisted Britain must leave the EU's single market, telling Lib Dem leader Tim Farron: "There's a big world out there."
The party's manifesto is due to be published next week.
