BBC presenter struggles to contain laughter over crude footpath name in news report

A local BBC News presenter was left struggling to contain his laughter as he made a raunchy remark live on air thanks to an unfortunate street name in a report

A BBC presenter was left struggling to contain his laughter over the name of a street during a live on-air report. During the BBC East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire bulletin, newsreader Peter Levy was left stifling his giggles when he read out an unfortunate street name.

When reading out the day’s local news, the presenter came to a story about repairs needed for a footpath in the city of Lincoln. Peter read: “Now it’s estimated that the bill to repair Lincoln’s Glory Hole will be anything between £60,000 and £100,000.” As the presenter read out the script, he giggled between words.

He managed to carry on: “The footpath has been closed since February and Lincolnshire County Council have blamed difficulties in accessing the site and the extent of the repairs needed for the high costs. I am sure we will keep an eye on that one.” A video of the moment was soon shared online, with many laughing at the raunchy remark.

“Glorious stuff on Carry On @looknorthBBC,” commented one viewer. “@peter_levy is truly a national treasure,” added another. Whilst someone else said: “Thanks gents, the funniest thing I’ve seen today.” “Peter Levy! What a man being able to get through that. Legend!,” praised another.
