Kathryn hosted The Voice of Ireland for five years from 2011 to 2016 and had a major on air slip-up at one of the final shows.
The 46-year-old explained: “It is the most embarrassing moment of my career. I was presenting The Voice of Ireland many, many, many moons ago.
“And what they used to do is bring celebrities on or bands on to play with the finalists.
“So Steve Wall turns up, Brewing Up a Storm was the tune and the lads were on stage and off they went and everybody was having a great time.”
The Carlow native was standing on the side of the stage and too was distracted that she thought the iconic pause in the song was the end of it and her queue to come out on stage.
She said: “I was too busy probably applying my lipstick, chatting away to everyone backstage and that pause in the song happens and I walked straight out onto the middle of the stage and with my microphone ready to interview everybody after.
“What an incredible performance that was, oh my God.”
The music suddenly kicked back off again and Kathryn had to think on her feet.
The radio host explained: “I just looked around and the whole room was laughing. And I just started dancing.
“I just had to stand there and I started dancing and getting into it. I’ll never forget Kian Egan from Westlife, he actually got up on the red chair.
“He was laughing so much. He was like, ‘This is television gold’.”
‘LOVE IT’
Q102 shared the hilarious clip on Instagram and had everyone in stitches laughing.
Mary said: “Omg that’s too funny.”
Mag wrote: “I remember that, hilarious.”
Bernie remarked: “Love it.”
Grace added: “I remember it… TV gold!!”
