Today Show's Craig Melvin was left mortified after he accidentally revealed Jenna Bush Hager's secret career pivot live on air.

The co–host, 46, had been discussing the upcoming The Devil Wears Prada 2 film when he let slip that his colleague has a cameo.

During Wednesday's show, Melvin said: 'By the way, you know how I know that movie will be good? You know how I can tell? JBH is in it.'

The camera then panned to an open–mouthed Bush Hager, 44, who said in shock: 'I don't know that you were supposed to drop that bomb.'

An awkward silence fell across Studio 1A until recently returned co–host Savannah Guthrie quipped: 'You cannot tell Craig anything!' 

Defending his reveal, Melvin insisted: 'I thought it was common knowledge.'

'Well, no,' Guthrie, 54, responded as she shook her head.

'Cut it out for the other feeds,' Melvin suggested before he went on to apologize. 'Sorry about that, JBH.'

He then pulled a face that seemed as though he had made a genuine mistake.

'Why don't you read my journal while you're at it!' Guthrie joked.

The highly anticipated The Devil Wears Prada 2 comes nearly two decades after the original became a box-office smash and fashion phenomenon.

The sequel, set to arrive in theaters on May 1, will see Anne Hathaway return as former assistant Andrea Sachs and Meryl Streep as the cutthroat leader of Runway magazine, Miranda Priestly.

Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci also feature again as the film dives back into the cutthroat world of high fashion – but this time with a modern twist.

According to Variety, the movie follows Miranda as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt's character, now a high–powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.

While further details about Bush Hager's role remain up in the air, she joins a slew of new characters.

Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J Shen and BJ Novak are set to make their debut.
