Viewers at home were left cringing during Emma Willis and Ann Widdecombe's Celebrity Big Brother exit interview on Friday night.
The former MP lost out to drag queen Courtney Act , who was crowned winner in the live final.
Sitting down with Emma after leaving the house, the host asked Ann: "How will you think you're going to fare now going back to just you with your lovely cats that you adore?"
But Emma was clearly not up speed, because Ann snapped: "I don't have any cats. That's misinformation."
A red-faced Emma replied: "Oh, I thought you had cats?"

"I did but they died," Ann went on.
Fans were quick to comment on the exchange on social media, with one writing: "Touch of awkwardness when Emma brought up Ann's cats who were dead though."
A second wrote: "Emma and her high levels of research, are you looking forward to seeing your cats, Ann: they're all dead."
Elsewhere in the chat, Ann said she was "thoroughly bemused" to come second on the show.
"Apparently I'm the runner-up in Celebrity Big Brother. Do you know how many times I've turned this programme down?
"I definitely enjoyed it more than I thought I would, I thought I wouldn't enjoy it at all."
She also said it was "terrible" living with other people.
She added: "There was noise all the time. I was woken up in the morning by loud pop music played by Big Brother and there was even one day when that was followed by an obscene performance.

"With all due respect to all of them (the housemates), I am dying to go back to living alone, I've been dying for it since day one and then the numbers doubled and I was dying for it even more."
Asked if conversations she had in her house about abortion and LGBT rights had given her food for thought, she said: "No, you reason yourself there and that is then your position.
"It was an endorsement of free speech, whether people agreed with me or not."
