American singer and actress Hilary Duff found herself in an amusingly awkward situation during a recent interview, where she inadvertently made a risqué comment about the popular British discount retailer Poundland. The hilarious clip, which has since gone viral, captured the moment as Hilary was being educated about British culture by Capital FM presenter Jordan North.
A Cultural Lesson at the Tower of London
The interview took place in the exclusive Yeoman Warders Club, a private pub located within the historic Tower of London. Hilary Duff, who is preparing for her upcoming Lucky Me UK tour later this year, sat down with Jordan North to learn more about British customs and landmarks. The conversation took a comical turn when the discussion shifted to everyday British institutions.
The Moment of Confusion
As Jordan North began recommending places for Hilary to visit during her tour, he mentioned the popular pub chain Wetherspoons. Hilary, clearly confused by the name, asked for clarification: "Weather or wet her spoons? Still not quite sure exactly what you said." Jordan explained that it's commonly referred to as "Spoons" and is known for its good deals, suggesting she could enjoy fish and chips there with her crew.
The conversation then moved to supermarkets, with Jordan mentioning Aldi. Hilary responded with what she thought was a logical follow-up: "Yeah. I drove down I drove up past a pound town. Is that what it's called?"
The Hilarious Correction
Jordan North immediately burst into laughter at Hilary's innocent mistake. "No. No. Not pound town. Poundland. Poundland. Oh my gosh. Pound Town is something completely different!" he exclaimed, clearly amused by the unintended double entendre. Unfazed, Hilary joked back: "Honestly, it works, doesn't it? Pound Town's such a better name."
Hilary Duff's Upcoming World Tour
The interview comes as Hilary Duff prepares for her extensive The Lucky Me Tour, a 47-date world tour that will span seven countries. The tour kicks off on June 22 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and concludes on February 12, 2027, in Mexico City, Mexico. This marks the singer's first world tour since her 40-date Dignity Tour in 2007-2008, which supported her fourth studio album.
Tour Details and Presale Information
The Lucky Me Tour will feature opening acts led by women, including English synth-pop artist La Roux and Canadian singers Lauren Spencer Smith and Jade LeMac. Hilary announced the tour with an Instagram video showing her rummaging through a closet before selecting a cozy white faux-fur coat, accompanied by the caption: "The name says it all. I truly feel so lucky to be able to be onstage again in front of all of you beautiful people. I can't wait!"
Presale tickets for North America begin on February 19 at 10am, while UK and Ireland presales start on February 17 at 10am. Australia and New Zealand presales commence on February 17 at noon. Additional presale tickets are available for American Express, Citi, Mastercard, and Westpac New Zealand Mastercard cardholders, as well as Verizon, Vodafone, and Westfield members.
Las Vegas Residency Conclusion
The Lucky Me Tour follows Hilary's sold-out Las Vegas mini-residency at the Voltaire inside The Venetian Resort, with performances scheduled for February 13-15 and May 22-24. The viral Poundland moment has provided unexpected publicity for both her British cultural education and her upcoming tour, showcasing her good-humored approach to the accidental slip-up.
