Primark called out over another awkward blunder - this time on Winnie the Pooh top

Earlier this week, a Friends fan named Dan Molloy purchased a top from Primark inspired by the comedy TV show.

He wore the garment to celebrate the sitcom's 25th anniversary - only to discover later that it contained an embarrassing mistake.

This prompted, another shopper to take a closer look at their Primark buys and they noticed that their Disney villains vest top, featuring Ursula, Maleficent and the Evil Queen also had an odd blunder printed on the inside of it, Mirror.co.uk reports. 

Where a Disney logo should have been printed, a Harry Potter one had accidentally been put in its place.

And now a third person has come across an error on their Disney Winnie the Pooh shirt - and it's a pretty big mistake.

A shopper named Matt James shared a photo of a yellow garment on Twitter .

He captioned the post, saying: "Spot the mistake".

Can you see what it isn't quite right with the piece of clothing?

The true fans out there will soon realise that poor Pooh Bear's name has been misspelled, so instead of reading Winnie the Pooh as it should, it says Winne the Pooh.

Primark's customer service account responded to the tweet, writing: "Woops, thank you for letting us know. We will pass your feedback on to our Buying Team!"

MirrorOnline have contacted Primark for further comment on the blunders.

Winnie the Pooh is a character originally created by English author A. A. Milne and his name was originally hyphenated as Winnie-the-Pooh.

The silly old bear first featured in a poem in 1924, before getting his own collection of stories in 1926.

Walt Disney Studios later obtained the rights to A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories in 1961 and adapted the stories, taking out the hyphens in the bear's name.

To date Pooh has been voiced by a number of actors including Sterling Holloway, Hal Smith and Jim Cummings.
