Speaking about the cat curfew, that is currently happening in Australia, Alison welcomed guest Caroline Grills onto the show, who she told viewers was the counsellor for Bendigo.

Alison kicked off the segment, as she said: "We're joined now by Bendigo counsellor Caroline Grills alongside Doctor Scott, we're gonna kick off with Caroline first.

"First of all, can you just tell us what the current lockdown situation is for cats in Bendigo?"

Caroline replied: "Firstly, can I just correct you, sorry I'm not actually a counsellor, I'm actually one of the managers, so I'm responsible for the animal management team, so I just wanted to make that clear."

Alison gave a weak apology, as she said: "So you're the big guns, babe. You are the big guns, you're the manager, sorry about that, we'll get it right now!"

The two kept speaking over each other, as there was a delay on the video link from Australia.

Caroline said it was ok but there seemed to be a very awkward tension between the two for a couple of seconds.

Fans on Twitter were quick to pick up on the mishap and shared their comments.

One user said: "This is a trainwreck of an interview."

Zara said: "Yes Alison get it right."

Roy said: "Caroline: Erm… I’m actually a manager!!! Alison: Alright love, you’re the big guns! Caroline: Erm I… Alison: *Continues to talk over the big gun!* Caroline: *Stares blankly at screen*" followed by laughing emojis."
