BBC apologises after accidentally broadcasting technician asking 'What the f**k is that?' during morning programme
The BBC has apologised after one of its presenters on its breakfast programme was heard swearing on air.
The presenters of the programme Susanna Reid and Charlie Staydt apologized after the voice of a technician was heard to ask ‘What the f**k is that?’ over an open microphone.
The pair were set to introduce conductor John Wilson as a guest at the time.
A spokesperson for the BBC explained that a microphone left on outside the studio had picked up the technician’s voice.
“During the programme this morning, we accidentally played out not-for-broadcast audio containing an audible swear word. The error was caused by a radio microphone inadvertently being left on outside our studio,” they added.
