Chery is called by old surname ‘Cole’ at Game 4 Grenfell

She made one of her first public appearances at the charity event, since removing herself from the spotlight to care for her newborn son Bear.

But Cheryl’s appearance at Game 4 Grenfell did not run completely smoothly on Saturday, as she was introduced on live television by her old surname.

Sky presenter Adam Hills was heard referring to the star, 33, as ‘Cheryl Cole’ – despite divorcing from footballer husband Ashley Cole in 2010.

Cheryl had attended the event to award the children directly affected by June’s Grenfell fire with medals – after a summer of sporting tournaments were held in wake of the tragedy.

However Sky’s Adam Hills was heard introducing the former Girls Aloud star as ‘Cheryl Cole’ ahead of her interview, in an awkward live television blunder. 

The Geordie beauty ditched the name in 2010 following her divorce from Ashley Cole, and is now known simply as Cheryl.

While the star ignored the gaffe and continued with the interview, viewers immediately took to Twitter to poke fun at Adam’s mistake.

One wrote, alongside a photo of Cheryl at the match: ‘They introduced her as Cheryl COLE booooooooooooo #Game4Grenfell’

While another added awkwardly: ‘Someone should tell Adam Hills Cheryl dropped “Cole” years ago!’
