UK politician Jeremy Hunt was given a pretty sizeable promotion this week, taking on the role of Chancellor of the Exchequer after the former Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, was fired by prime minister Liz Truss.

Hunt's surname has been plaguing journalists for years now. Back in 2010, Radio 4 presenter James Naughtie made the same slip when Hunt was Culture Secretary.
In 2017, when Hunt was Health Secretary, BBC journalist Ellie Price did exactly the same thing while reporting live outside Number 10.
