Moment Meghan Markle supporter Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu refuses to go on with TV interview until presenter Dawn Neesom pronounces her name correctly
Former editor and commentator Dawn Neesom was called out by political activist Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu for mispronouncing her name this morning.
The exchange occurred on Channel 5‘s Jeremy Vine show which Ms Neesom was presenting as host today.
Dr Shola was one of the panelists who talk about stories and issues of the day.
But when the introductions started there was a mistake which was highlighted immediately.
Dawn said: ‘ I am absolutely thrilled to be joined by lawyer Dr Shola’ but then struggled to pronounce her surname and asked her ‘How do I pronounce your name Shola?’
The political campaigner replied ‘Read it my darling, read it.’
Dawn then tried again but appeared to have mispronounced it again.
Dr Shola, who had a smile on her face throughout, said: ‘This is terrible, especially from a presenter.’
Dawn was then told by her to go through it phonetically and said ‘Shola Mos Shog Mam Imu.’
Dr Shola responded: ‘Do it again.’
Dawan said ‘Oh come on, I got the Shola right’ but Dr Shola said ‘Do it again and do it phonetically.’
When it was still wrong Dr Shola said ‘You just missed the B try again’.
Dawn put her hand to her face and said ‘Shola, Shola welcome to the show!’
Dr Shola replied ‘No you will say my name now ready it phonetically’,
Dawn made what sounded to be nearly correct and Dr Shola said ‘It’s Shogbamimu but well done.’
