SHE’S snatched a career based on the words she delivers to viewers but this morning Lisa Wilkinson just couldn’t get the right ones out.

The result? An epic slip up.

The 55-year-old Today Show co-host, originally from Wollongong, had reminded everyone that today was the first day of winter.

Happy first day of winter folks. Wishing you an extra five minutes under the Fiona.

She wrote on her official page: “Happy first day of winter folks. Wishing you an extra five minutes under the Fiona.”

After social media lit up with commenters cheekily responding: “What if you don’t have a Fiona?” and another “Always looking for 5 more minutes under the Fiona,” Wilkinson made a red-face confession.

She tweeted: “Woops, that last tweet should’ve read “wishing u an extra 5mins under the DOONA”, not “under Fiona”. Apologies to all Fionas. #autocorrect!”

Oh well.

Hopefully the message got out there.

Woops, that last tweet should've read "wishing u an extra 5mins under the DOONA", not "under Fiona". Apologies to all Fionas. #autocorrect!
