Salma HayekSalma HayekOh the hilarity - you can't beat a bit of crossed wires for a giggle.

Ain't that right, Salma Hayek?

And it makes it all the funnier when the blunder is on live telly.

Somebody made a bit of a silly sausage out of themselves when interviewing Salma.

Eamonn Holmes was chatting to Salma for This Morning when he decided to question her on her surname.Bowing out: EamonnEamonn Holmes

Eamonn said: "Hayek doesn't sound very Mexican."

So Salma explained: "I'm half Lebanese."

But good old Eamonn mustn't have cleaned out his ears as he responded: "So you're a lesbian?"

Giving everyone a good giggle, Salma tried to explain again - slowly: "I am Lebanese."

See how easily these things happen?
