Congratulations to Saoirse-Monica on the well deserved win!
It was a big night for Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson as she took home the award for Best Comedy Performance at the National Comedy Awards, for her role as Erin in the hit series.
But while it is a massive achievement, the mood was soured slightly as the two British presenters struggled to say her Irish name. We’ve seen plenty of Americans struggle to say Saoirse Ronan, and unfortunately as similar situation occurred as the presenters pronounced her name as “Source” Monica Jackson.
Saoirse won’t there on the night to collect her award or correct them, and has yet to address the mispronunciation. But fans have been sharing their reactions online.— amy 🪡
