What a mistake to make live on air 😂
News broke of the possible resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson from the Conservative Party on Wednesday evening and BBC News was one of the many outlets reporting the latest updates.
Now Johnson's resignation has been confirmed and official statements have been made. But one late-evening segment caught the eye of the UK public for another reason altogether. As Ros Atkins hosted a segment detailing the leadership of Boris Johnson, news anchor Tim Wilcox appeared on television for a brief second.The presenter was caught off guard, scrolling on his mobile phone with his feet up on the news desk in the live BBC News studio.
Despite his quick reaction it wasn't long before this clip went viral. TV critic and broadcaster Scott Bryan posted the video on social media. He shared the hilarious footage and wrote: "INCREDIBLE SCENES: BBC News accidentally cut away to their news studio, showing a presenter with their feet on the desk."
