The curse of Jeremy Hunt has struck again with two journalists mis-pronouncing his name in the most unfortunate way possible.

Reporters have been stationed on Downing Street to report on Tory ministers coming and going as Theresa May reshuffles her Cabinet following her election humiliation.

On the BBC’s rolling news channel, Ellie Price reflected on what might be happening with the Health Secretary ensconced in No 10.

“We’re waiting to hear from Jeremy C*** ... Hunt and some of the other people who have gone in,” she said.

Over on Sky News, newsreader Claudia-Liza Armah was also having similar problems. “Beth, it looks like Jeremy C*** is going to be coming out with that NHS pin on his jacket,” she said to reporter Beth Rigby.

Hunt remains at health, by the way. It’s not the first or second time broadcasters have been tongue-tied. Here’s Ricky Gervais capturing another Sky News broadcaster making the blunder two years ago.

And Radio 4 presenter James Naughtie tripped over his tongue when trailing an interview with the then Culture Secretary.

To put the tin hat on it, Andrew Marr made exactly the same gaffe when describing the incident on Start the Week only hours later.

'KUWTK': Khloe Kardashian Opens Up About Starting a Family With Tristan Thompson: 'He Wants to Have Kids Now'

Khloe Kardashian is opening up about looking toward the future with boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Kim Kardashian's longing for a third child became the thrust of yet another episode on Sunday's Keeping Up With the Kardashians season 13 finale, and this time she turned to her younger sister to ask if she'd consider acting as a surrogate. Khloe was hesitant about the idea, but agreed to come with Kim to a fertility specialist. While at the doctor, Khloe was told that she had "fewer follicles" on her ovaries than expected for a 32-year-old woman, and that could lead to her having trouble conceiving in the future.
