Viewers of the 24-hour news channel on Thursday afternoon were gobsmacked when news anchor Matthew Amroliwala gave an update on the data breach from the police in Northern Ireland. He handed over to journalist Charlotte Gallagher for more details on the story. However, a technical error meant the reporter couldn't be seen on the screen. Trying to save the report, Matthew explained: "We can't bring you that clip, but our correspondent Charlotte Gallagher has this report." The live feed then went to Charlotte, who was in the BBC newsroom in Belfast. She explained more about the data breech after hundreds of names of officers were leaked. However, it wasn't long before viewers realised they were seeing an unfinished clip. Charlotte started to trip over her words and became frustrated. She then quipped: "I can't get my words out... F**k". The reporter could then be seen rolling her tongue over her teeth as she tried to start again but was quickly cut back to the studio. A shocked Matthew told viewers: "Well apologies there for that confusion, that was our correspondent Charlotte Gallagher. "She's been monitoring what's been happening there at that news conference. We will get more on that here in the next little while." Many viewers were so surprised at what they had seen, they took to social media to share their reactions. One person wrote: "Oh no... out-takes making it to air". Another added: "Been a few of these technical issues on the Beeb recently. I wonder what's going wrong". Yet some took pity on Charlotte as a viewer commented: "Bless her - bet she was mortified when she realised that had gone out! Michael, cool under pressure as ever." It's not the first time BBC presenters have suffered awkward blunders live on air. Du){kind=link}
