Roz Purcell speaks out about her hilarious ‘willy’ gaffe during The Late Late Show

The model was totally misunderstood

Roz Purcell has spoken out about the hilariously awkward moment that occurred during her interview on The Late Late Show.

During her segment on the late night chat show, Roz was speaking about the “main man in her life”, and when host Ryan Tubridy asked who it was, she replied, “Willy”.

Followers of Roz will know that she was talking about her dog Wilko – but Ryan and the audience were thinking of something totally different, which left everyone in stitches.

Speaking about the hilarious gaffe on The Nicky Byrne Show with Jenny Greene on RTÉ 2FM this morning, Roz said, “I’m sure you saw the headlines.”

“You know what, every time before I go on live TV I’m always like, ‘Now, Roz don’t say anything that could be taken out of context, you could be totally screwed over’ – and you know what, I totally gave it to them on a plate.

“So, Willay is my dog, Wilko! His nickname is just Willy, but I just didn’t even think about it. I even shocked myself because I’m just so used to calling him Willy.”

Although Roz was left a little red faced, she was thankful that Ryan moved on so quickly.

“In the middle of it I was like ‘Oh god!’, but the good thing about Ryan is you can kind of just laugh and move on,” she added.
