James Cordon falls down presenting Big Brother's Little Brother James Corden has earned acclaim as one of the most polished chat show presenters on TV in recent years. However a resurfaced clip from 2008 shows that his early efforts at hosting a show were far from sophisticated. Riding high on the success of Gavin and Stacey James, who turns 46 today, and co-star Matthew Horne were picked to host Channel 4 's spin-off show, Big Brother's Big Mouth.
In clips from the show, the pair exuded energy as they bounced around the audience discussing the events happening in the Big Brother house. At one point they give the audience shots of what they say is tequila and not long afterwards James found himself in the embarrassing position of losing his footing as he tried to wrap up the show. As he speaks to the camera he suddenly disappears from shot and falls down the steps in the audience while everyone looks on shocked.
He doesn't just stumble but rather falls all the way down the steps landing at the feet of audience members.

The fall could have been much worse as James was also holding a fencing foil as he slipped, although he thankfully managed to continue to hold it away from him.
The clip recently resurfaced in an episode of Channel 5 's show When TV Presenters Go Horribly Wrong. Although the incident occured nearly two decades ago the talking heads in the documentary still winced watching as he fell. Don't miss.
