Boris Johnson stunned the nation on Tuesday when he appeared not to know who Lorraine Kelly is.
During a Downing Street interview with Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain, the Prime Minister also made a startling confession about the cost of living crisis. The Prime Minister initially said the government is "doing everything we can to help with the pressures on family budgets".
But when Susanna pushed him on this and asked why he wasn't imposing a windfall tax on the energy companies, he eventually admitted the government could be doing more.

Mr Johnson said: "This country is in an insane position taking electricity from France and elsewhere because we haven't done enough to invest in our own security of supply." Susanna quickly interjected with: "So let the energy companies invest, and at the same time why don't you impose a windfall tax?
"In order to help people right now who are paying energy bills gone up hundreds to be told we need to leave energy companies invest, that's their job. Your job is to help people pay their bills".
Mr Johnson then listed the support measures that have been put in place, including an energy 'discount' that will have to be repaid, and a £150 council tax rebate available to some households.
Susanna said: "But £150 doesn't touch the sides, and isn't available for everybody. You're not doing everything you can".
Boris Johnson replied: "There is more that we can do but the crucial thing is to make sure we deal with the crisis over the medium and long term". Susanna said: "So you're not being honest, you're not doing everything you can".
The Prime Minister simply said: "We're doing a huge amount".
As the allotted interview time was drawing to a close, Susanna said: "Lorraine is waiting to take up all the issues you brought up in this interview". Mr Johnson replied: "Who's Lorraine?"
Susanna replied: "'Who's Lorraine?' Lorraine's a legend". Lorraine simply said: "Wow".
