Sky News viewers were left shocked on Monday afternoon, after a naughty word accidentally aired on yesterday’s programming.
The awkward blunder happened during Kimberly Leonard’s Sky News at One show as she delivered a report on the ‘frightening rise’ in cars being driven on the wrong side of the road on England’s motorways.
After switching pages on her tablet, which is being broadcast on a large screen in the background, the TV presenter is asked to ‘accept’ its cookie options and quips that she trusts the official site of her workplace to be safe. It’s at this point that a large banner for the “Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare” theatre production pops up above a digital article, before Leonard swiftly swipes to return to the site’s homepage. Despite its short duration of time the advert was on screen, it quickly gained traction online.
“Maybe don’t show your website on telly at lunchtime, if you’ve accepted “Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare” as an advertiser,” one person tweeted, before noting that the Leicester Square production will likely welcome the unexpected promotion. “They will be delighted though. Instant viral.”
