'If you knew you had mere seconds left, you should have cut your losses instead of effectively blanking an international music star. I think a statement of apology is owed.'  

This comes in a string of blunders made by the show in recent months. 

Earlier in July, Alex Jones made a mistake while Ed Sheeran was on the show where he had to correct the presenter when she claimed he had eight million people attend his tour, when in fact it was nine million.   

After being told she had got it wrong, Alex corrected herself and said: 'Nine, nine, ok. Most songs in the last album reached the top 20?

Ed replied: 'Yeah well that was kind of like a mistake of like the way they ordered the chart, anyway I'll let you carry on, thank you.'

Another blunder: Ed Sheeran recently sat down with Alex Jones and Ronan Keating where he corrected the Welsh presenter when she claimed he had 8million people attend his tour, when in fact it was 9million
