With a wooden bird chiming away in the background, he told audiences that the specialty clock was counting down the seconds to Kaye Forster's weather forecast.
However, the tongue twister proved a bit too much for him, and Roger accidentally called the item a "cuckoo c*ck" instead.
Blushing, he rushed to correct his mistake, saying: "Clock!"
The presenter was able to continue discussing the clock collection without any further blunders.

At the end of the live segment he also joked: "It's all a bit cuckoo, isn't it?"
