Olympic commentator mistakes Serena Williams' husband for her personal umbrella holder on the red carpet...
From The Sun
THIS is the awkward moment a Eurosport commentator called Serena Williams' husband an "umbrella holder".
Tennis superstar Williams, 42, took part in the Opening Ceremony for the Paris Games.
While on the red carpet, Serena stunned in a glamorous red dress.
She was joined by husband Alex Ohanian on the carpet, who chivalrously held up an umbrella for her to keep from getting wet, and six-year-old daughter Olympia.
But Eurosport presenter Laura Woods - making her first appearance on TV since announcing the wonderful news of her pregnancy - made a gaffe by failing to recognise him.
On commentary for the red carpet showing, she said: "She (Serena) looks absolutely incredible. She's got someone just behind us holding an umbrella.
"Those are the levels you aspire to. To have an actual umbrella holder behind you."
Regardless of the mix-up, Ohanian continued to hold up the umbrella as the camera panned to show them in front of the Eiffel tower.
In a red carpet interview he admitted not many people know who he is despite being the co-founder of popular social media site Reddit.
