BBC’s Flustered Reporter Makes X-Rated Slip-Up During Jürgen Klopp Segment, Ignoring Autocue

BBC bosses were faced with their rudest blunder to date on Thursday when a presenter made an X-rated gaffe live on air. 

During the day’s BBC News at One bulletin, journalist Chetan Pathak delivered the latest news in sport news however a tongue-tied moment left him red-faced – and later taking to Twitter to apologise for the gaffe. 

The TV star, who also lists himself as a teacher and communication coach, delivered the news that German manager Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool had won the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup during which he was detailing the excitement.

Speaking about the former footballer and now-manager’s reaction, he said: ‘We saw him fisting… bumping his fists in the air there.’

After uttering the word for the sexual act, Chetan let out a giggle and resumed his composure, before taking to Twitter to pen: ‘My apologies, lesson learnt. The next time I think I’ll ad-lib a story, I’ll stick to what’s written on the autocue’.

When TV critic and journalist Scott Bryan shared the video and wrote: ‘Jürgen Klopp did what?!?’, red-faced Chetan wrote under his tweet: ‘First thought that went through my head when I said this was I hope Scott Bryan isn’t watching’

One tickled viewer replied to Chetan to write: ‘Oh Chetan, please don’t stop ad-libbing’, with a host of laughing Emojis alongside. 

Other fans wrote: ‘Made my day yesterday! The moment you realise… 

‘This made my day Chetan. Well done for keeping it together – I’m assuming they were all laughing in your ear?!!!… Love love love you. I was roaring with laughter. You are our entertainment… Oh Chetan… Oh Chetan’.

Chetan’s accident was not the first the channel have suffered, with a number of incidents happening over the past year.

In August, BBC presenter Gareth Barlow made a hilarious blunder after he got his words mixed up when introducing a nightly programme.

The broadcaster was presenting a nightly bulletin on the BBC News channel when it seemed as though nerves got the better of him.

He introduced the show: ‘I’m watching the BBC news’ and then quickly corrected himself after realising his mistake ‘I’m Gareth Barlow. You’re watching BBC News.’

Gareth’s fumble left viewers in hysterics and he too found the funny side after sharing the clip on X, formerly known as Twitter, captioned: ‘Can someone please remind me who’s watching the news?’. 

His hilarious mistake quickly became viral with BBC colleague Greg James even poking fun at the presenter on his BBC Radio 1 breakfast show this morning.

Greg told listeners tuning in this morning: ‘My favorite thing has happened. I love this. It’s when people either say thank you to themselves or get muddled up when introducing themselves. 

‘The news is often very serious and very professional but once in a while there is an amazing blunder and one has happened. 

‘BBC News presenter Gareth Barlow, not Gary from Take That, Gareth Barlow on BBC News, got a little bit confused while saying hello to us all.’ 

He then played the hilarious clip to his listeners adding: ‘So good. This is my favourite thing. I love it so much.’

Gareth later thanked Greg for the shoutout, saying: ‘I’ve spent the morning practicing saying my name ready for my radio show this afternoon. Wish me luck.’
