“The next gig’s Ibiza man, I’m gonna be in Ibiza doing the closing,” Idris said.

“Nice, we’re on our way!” Vernon joked.

Rochelle then joked that they could have done today’s interview in Ibiza. It was at this point that Idris made his awkward blunder.

“I’ve DJ’d with Martin before, your husband [Marvin Humes],” he told Rochelle.

The Saturdays singer was quick to correct him, saying: “Yeah Marv, you have, that’s right.”

“Oh Martin, it’s Marvin!” Idris quickly replied.

“Call him Martin, I prefer that! I love that, I’m telling him, ‘you just got called Martin!” Rochelle joked.

Turning to the camera, Idris then apologised, saying: “No, no sorry Marv, please!”
