Model-turned actress Cara Delevingne hit the headlines for the wrong reasons yesterday when a seriously cringeworthy TV interview of hers went viral, and now she has spoken out about the incident.

The interview, which Cara gave via satellite link-up to US TV show Good Morning Sacramento, got a mixed reaction from viewers. Things got off to a rocky start when the show's main anchor introduced the Paper Towns star as "Carla" Delevingne, and got worse as a five-second satellite delay combined with Cara's sarcastic answers led to a disastrous few minutes of live TV. 

Some claimed the anchors were at fault for patronising Cara and not doing their research, while others said Cara's attitude was the problem, and her insistence on giving sarky answers throughout the interview. 

Taking to Twitter last night, Cara herself said her brand of sarcastic humour simply got lost in translation on American TV. "Some people just don't understand sarcasm or the British sense of humour," she wrote.

Fellow actor Zach Braff soon responded with "or how it's condescending to ask an actress if she's read the book," in reference to one of the first questions asked in the interview.

The response from others in the entertainment industry wasn't so supportive, however. Earlier in the day, actress Whoopi Goldberg slammed Cara on The View, saying, "You've got to suck it up… She's not a famous actress, she's a newbie… I'm famous."

Another actress, Chrishell Strause, described it as "career suicide," which didn't go down too well with Cara:

Bet that's the last time "Carla" agrees to appear on Good Morning Sacramento…
