Carol Vorderman hit back at Dominic Raab after he said the wrong surname when issuing a tribute for the late Paul O'Grady.
Raab, who was filling in for Rishi Sunak during Wednesday's Prime Minister's Questions, accidently referred to O'Grady as "Paul Grayson", mixing him up with Larry Grayson. The Deputy Prime Minister went on to correct himself and describing Paul as an "incredible comic".
Paul O'Grady sadly passed away suddenly at the age of 67 on March 28. As a beloved entertainer, hundreds of fans, friends and celebs alike took to social media as tributes poured in.

After hearing Raab's blunder, Carol took to Twitter, as Birmingham Live writes, and she said: "Name checking Paul O'Grady as 'Paul Grayson' in the House of Commons today For many reasons, I think there's a special place in hell for this bullying piece of...... Don't you?"
But she was quickly met with some defending the MP but others said it made their "blood boil".
One clapped back, saying: "Where has innocent until proven guilty gone, Carol? Really quite a low tweet, even for you. I think the way you behave on Twitter sometimes, as demonstrated in your current tweet, it’s you that’s the bully here. Or is it only applicable if you’re a Tory?"
Another said: "He then went onto suggest he knew what Paul O’Grady and Lily Savage would both (yeah he seems to think they’re two people) would think politically. Despite Paul being vocal anti-Tory. Disrespectful and arrogant of Raab."
A third said: "I’ve never liked Raab, but this made my blood boil. Paul O’Grady will be missed. Unlike Raab."
A fourth wrote: "I genuinely couldn’t believe this. I get that sometimes people make mistakes, but it was the look on his face afterwards. It was completely disrespectful."
One commented: "Paul O'Grady will be missed by the millions of people who tuned in to watch him on TV, or who listened to him on a Sunday afternoon when he was on Radio 2. He always came across as a gentle kind person and never judgemental. Rest in peace Paul."
"Exactly. Paul was a remarkable and caring person, people will remember him for all his good work, his caring nature and for bringing a bit of joy to people's lives," another added. "No one gives a toss about Raab."
