White House confuses UK PM with porn star

The White House has been left red-faced after misspelling British Prime Minister Theresa May's name.

The White House made an embarrassing gaffe when it got the British Prime Minister's name wrong - inadvertently spelling it the same way as a porn actress.

A daily guidance and press schedule from the office of the press secretary said: "In the afternoon, the president will partake in a bilateral meeting with United Kingdom Prime Minister, Teresa May" - missing out the "h" in her name, despite spelling it correctly elsewhere.

It continued: "The president participates in a working luncheon with Teresa May, Prime Minister of United Kingdom."

Teresa May - without the "h" - is in fact a soft porn actress and glamour model who starred in a video for the song Smack My Bitch Up, by dance music band The Prodigy.

The error was repeated in a later guidance note from the Office of the Vice President, though it elsewhere also spelled her name correctly, before finally being rectified fully in another notice from the same office.
