Big Brother host Emma Willis has admitted her embarrassment at the 'Channel 4' gaffe that caused waves during only her second night of fronting the show.
The 37-year-old drew murmurs from the launch night audience after almost making reference to the Channel 5 programme's former home when she seemed about to promote 'tomorrow night's Big Brother on Channel 4'.
Speaking to Digital Spy at last night's (July 22) British Airways Silent Picturehouse event, Willis said: "What was going through my head was all of a sudden I was hosting my favourite show in the whole world and for years I've listened to people going, 'Go to Channel4.com/BigBrother'.
"You do occasionally have moments when you're like, 'I'm on television, there's probably a million or so people watching and a whole audience here listening to what I'm saying'. You go 'Oh my God', and automatically you go 'Channel fff.

Big Brother viewers have complained to Ofcom in relation to a warning given to housemate Jemima Slade.
Jemima was sent a verbal warning earlier this week for supposedly racist comments used in the house.
She was called into the Diary Room after arguing with Gina Rio about their type of men.
"I go for darker looking, not black, but darker feature, Mediterranean. I wouldn't generally go for a black guy," Jemima said. "I like darker guys, but not black guys. Wouldn't really go for Chinese. I like mixed race."
She added: "I wouldn't generally go for a black guy, I've gone out with Indian guys, I'd generally go out with someone in there 30s."
Jemima said to Gina: "You probably wouldn't go for a white guy." Gina took offence to the comments, calling Jemima "racist".
After Jemima was warned over her comments, 151 viewers have contacted Ofcom stating that the warning was not needed,...
