Wolves fan Suzi tweeted the clanger to her 365,000 followers, prompting scores of replies, many people owning up to making similar gender miscalculations.

The presenter posted: "Rescued a stray wild kitten, fed her and called her Gloria. Managed to catch her to take her to the vets to be sterilised. Apparently Gloria is a boy - no coming back from the name Gloria is there?!"

Teased about her inability to tell the difference between a male and female cat, Suzi replied: "Wild cat, long hair – untouchable!"
