Law 47E1:

A lead out of turn (or play of a card) may be
retracted without further rectification if the player was
mistakenly informed by an opponent that it was his turn to lead or
play. A lead or play may not be accepted by his LHO in this
circumstance.

Therefore, assuming the wrong answer came from declarer or dummy,
declarer cannot accept this lead by spreading his hand. Declarer
picks up his hand, the correct defender leads, and the defenders
can play double-dummy.

I know we talked about it, but was it just hypothetical? Today I got this. Defender asked who was declarer, got a wrong answer, led out of turn, declarer put his hand down as dummy, then the irregularity was noticed and I was called.
