Based on the report from Philippine Entertainment Portal, Stephen said: “Now would you be prepared to give up flying for a whole year to help the planet. Well, the flight free campaign wants us to do just that. It wants 100,000 people to promise to give up flying for 2020. One of those asking us to do that, is doing it herself, is environmental campaigner Anna Hughes.”

This left the Pinay singer-actress wondering. She interrupted the host.

“Okay, I am not Anna Hughes, I’m sorry I don’t know what is going on. No, I’m not Anna Hughes, sorry about that,” the singer-actress said.

Stephen saved the awkward moment by asking the Broadway diva if she is Lea Salonga. She asked the male host if he wants to continue the interview or pause for a break

The newscaster said, “What we are going to do Lea, is go to a break, I do apologise, we will head to a break and sort this out.”

Meanwhile, Gillian who appeared not knowing what to do in the middle of the awkward moment just covered her face.
