GMB's Charlotte Hawkins left red-faced after she's 'TRICKED' into reading out rude name
GOOD MORNING BRITAIN host Charlotte Hawkins was left embarrassed on today’s edition of the programme after she accidentally read out some rude names.
Emma Roids! GMB discuss VERY unfortunate names
The 41-year-old broadcaster looked red-faced after she discussed a message from a viewer claiming to have known a girl called “Emma Roids”.
“It’s really not fair because people on Twitter [are] trying to get me to read them out," she said.
"Here are some, Kelvin says, ‘I know someone called Robin Banks,’ and Martin says, ‘this is 100 per cent true, the girl I went to school with was called Emma Roids’,” she explained.
Charlotte was heard repeating the name - in case viewers had not got the naughty pun the first time around.
“You don’t need to say it again!” co-presenter Ben Shephard was heard exclaiming, while Ranvir Singh burst out laughing.
“Anyway, please only send me the genuine ones,” Charlotte said as she blushed over the gaffe, before adding: “Well, these two will be saying, ‘no, please don’t!’”

Later on in the ITV breakfast show, the GMB team read out some more names, which included: “Maxwell and Wendy House”, “Helen Back” and “Sue Flay”.
“Sadly, we can’t share them all,” Ben, 41, told the audience, while Charlotte added: “And I don’t think all of them are true.”
The funny moment came as a new report found that one in five mothers revealed that they chose the wrong name for their child.
Among the names that the parents said they regretted calling their baby included Elsa from Frozen, Amelia, Daniel and Jacob.

The study, which was carried out by Mumsnet, found that 12 per cent of those spoken to “always knew it the wrong choice”.
One of the main reasons that people regretted the name choice was because it was such a commonly used name.
There are also some baby names that have been banned by the courts, including Fish and Chips, Anus and Facebook.
