'What do you mean you think you have? Surely you should remember that?' her co-host Marty replied, adding, 'It's not a shop!'
Kate replied: 'No is Mount Everest in the Snowy Mountains?'
After an awkward silence in the studio, Tim replied: 'Are you joking!''

'Are you on the gear? No that's Mount Kosciuszko!' Marty added.
It's not the first time the mother-of-one has been left embarrassed after making an off the cuff comment.
In August last year, Kate revealed she made a regretful remark about an A-lister's appearance and called it her most awkward celebrity interview.
'I think I've been to Mount Everest,' Kate said in a funny clip, shared to their Instagram page. 'What do you mean you think you have, surely you should remember that?' her co-host Marty replied, adding, 'It's not a shop!'
'I remember having Keith Urban in the studio once upon a time and before I could stop myself, I was telling him that he was shorter than I expected,' she told news.com.au
'Now Keith is a lovely guy and probably couldn't care less what I thought about his height, but I kick myself to this day about such a silly comment.
'Having people spew their thoughts about your appearance right at you, without thinking, is something I live with and loathe so I promise you that that moment still keeps me awake at night.'
