The UK has been suffering from the impacts of Storm Henk, with heavy rain and strong winds causing flooding and travel chaos across the country. The storm also brought about an on air blunder on BBC Newsbeat, when a radio listener texted in a message that could be interpreted the wrong way.
Broadcaster and TV critic Scott Bryant shared a clip of the golden moment on X, formerly Twitter, which showed the reporter reading the message out live: ‘Henk blew me so hard I couldn't stand up.’ Everyone in the comments section erupted into laughter, with one user simply writing ‘Ha ha ha ha.’
The UK isn't the only place where BBC presenters have caused a stir. Just before Christmas, Maryam Moshiri appeared to give the middle finger live on air, which she later apologised for. She explained that she had been jokingly counting down to the bulletin with some of the crew, and had not expected the moment to air. Footage of the incident was later leaked, which showed that Maryam's explanation was correct.
Finally, just yesterday a BBC presenter said the word ‘s**t’ seven times in under a minute during an interview with the Home Secretary.
