Brian and Arthur joked that viewers might think he was talking about Dancing With The Stars contestant Brooke Scullion, given Arthur is a judge on the show.

Brooke was quick to take to Twitter and give her thoughts on the hilarious mix-up. She wrote:

"I'd be so proud to be your daughter @brianoffical & Arthur."

Brian remained light-hearted about the mistake replying to the Eurovision star's tweet saying "HOWLING."

Brian and husband Arthur were joined on the Late Late by Brian's sister Aoife, who acted as surrogate for the couple.

The trio were chatting to Ryan ahead of the couple's new documentary Brian and Arthur's Very Modern Family, chronicling their surrogacy journey.

Speaking to Ryan about their experience, Arthur hailed Aoife's decision to act as surrogate as a 'miracle"

"A miracle happened- And she's sitting right here."
