O'Shognessy?

Sounded like Ant & Dec were pronouncing o'Shaughnessy as OShognessy - is that the correct pronunciation?

They must have been told how to pronounce it.
Here he is saying his own name at the beginning of this video...(actually sounds like O'shocknessy to me tho')

According to Ant and Dac's Twitter they are pronouncing it the way he asked them to.
