declared: “I’m bisexual” in a hilarious on-air blunder while chatting to etiquette expert William Hanson.
The host was live on TV and discussing his left-handedness with William when he made the awkward slip-up. as William tried to explain how quickly etiquette goes out of date.
He started off: “I think what people maybe don’t understand – etiquette has to evolve it would be ridiculous if it was just trying to get people to do really quite antiquated things. And of course you are left-handed, I noticed when you were doing your drawing.”
Jeremy wondered: “I’m bi… bisexual, what does that mean?” Laughing, William replied: “I don’t know if you’re bisexual. Well, you could be bisexual! I don’t know Jeremy. I think it’s ambidextrous.”
Jeremy insisted: “But it’s not, I can’t use both hands for everything. I write left-handed but I would play table tennis right-handed.”

William then corrected him: “Okay I think that might be bidextrous,” before adding: “It’s quite boring actually. Well it’s not the same as bisexual!”
Fans couldn’t get enough of the hilarious blunder, as one X user said: “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… he’s more Partridge than Partridge!”
Someone else joked: “Freudian slip!” as another fan tweeted: “Broadcasting gold!”

It’s far from the only slip Jeremy has ever made, as last year he mistook a transgender woman for a man in a very awkward radio interview. Introducing Vivian from Southampton, things took an embarrassing turn.
Vivian said: “Jeremy, nice to speak to you!” as Jeremy replied: “Gosh, whenever I say Vivian, I expect a woman, isn’t that crazy?” – and she replied: “Uh, I’m transgender, Jeremy.”
Jeremy quickly replied: “Okay, forgive me. I wasn’t meaning to go into that. Forgive me.” Thankfully Vivian simply said: “No, no, that’s absolutely fine.”
