Gary Barlow got into an awkward on-air row with radio star Kate Ritchie on Tuesday after he confused her show Home and Away with Neighbours.
The Take That star, 52, appeared on Nova's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie to discuss his upcoming Australian tour and was asked if he watched Home and Away.
However, Gary did not know much about the series Kate Ritchie starred on from 1988-2008 - and even confused it with its biggest competitor.
'Holly Valance and Terence Donovan were both on Home and Away, right?' Gary asked - only to be informed by a fuming Kate, 45, they were Neighbours stars.
Barlow then inflamed the situation by claiming he preferred Kate's soap rival.

'I think England was the biggest country for Neighbours and Home and Away. We loved Neighbours, Kylie, come on!' said the pop star.
Kate shot back: 'That's okay, Robbie Williams was my favourite,' referring to Gary's Take That bandmate.
Fortunately, the pair eventually made up and were seen hugging in a clip shared to social media.
