In a surprising turn of events during her live BBC news segment, presenter Maryam Moshiri unintentionally flashed a middle finger at the camera. Caught off guard by the gaffe, she swiftly rectified the situation and continued her broadcast. Post-incident, Maryam offered a genuine apology, acknowledging that it was a private joke gone awry.
Engaged in some good-natured banter with her production team off-camera, Maryam mistakenly included herself in the joking routine. As the director counted down from ten, she mimicked the countdown, ending with a jaunty flick of her finger. Unfortunately, this subtle gesture somehow made its way into the live broadcast.
Upon realizing her slip-up, Maryam immediately regretted the error and apologized for any offense or discomfort caused. The incident sparked a wave of discussion on social media and news outlets, with many viewers expressing their surprise and amusement at the incident.
Despite the incident, Maryam's news segment carried on in its scheduled manner, focusing on the latest developments in the UK's political landscape, including an inquiry into former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's policies during the coronavirus pandemic.
Social media was abuzz with commentary on the incident, with many viewers expressing their understanding and support for Maryam. Some even noted that the mistake made the news segment more human and relatable. BBC confirmed that Maryam's action was unintentional and emphasized that it did not form part of their broadcast strategy.
