BBC Anchor's Slip Of Tongue During Live Broadcast Sparks Laughter. WATCH
The viral clip of the BBC news anchor fumbling during live broadcast has gained close to 9 lakh views.
Television News anchoring can be a difficult task, especially in a breaking news situation as things are not planned. So, one can easily fumble and make mistakes. This is exactly what happened with a BBC news anchor during a live broadcast. Shared on microblogging site X (formerly Twitter) by BBC presenter Gareth Barlow, the video has gone insanely viral.
In the 12-second clip Barlow instead of saying "You are watching," the BBC ends up saying "I am watching" as the news bulletin and he turns towards the camera to welcome the audience. He immediately corrects himself and does the usual introduction with ease.
"Can someone please remind me who’s watching the news…, read the caption of the video shared by Barlow.
