In a comical turn of events, BBC Weather’s Kawser Quamer found herself in an embarrassing situation as she unintentionally disclosed her niece’s surprise birthday party during a live television broadcast.
The amusing incident has since gained widespread attention on social media.
The On-Air Mishap
Following her weather report on North West Tonight, Quamer joined presenter Annabel Tiffin for a casual post-broadcast chat.
Tiffin innocently inquired about Quamer’s upcoming weekend plans, leading to the inadvertent revelation.
The Slip-Up Unfolds
Responding to the question, Quamer casually mentioned her niece’s surprise birthday party without realizing the impact of her words.
Tiffin, quick to grasp the situation, humorously pointed out that it wouldn’t be a surprise if her niece was watching the broadcast. Quamer’s reaction was a burst of laughter, acknowledging her blunder.
Desperate Attempts to Salvage the Surprise
Realizing the potential consequences of her slip-up, Quamer attempted to signal viewers to keep the revelation under wraps by gesturing the shush sign.
However, her contagious laughter gave away the lighthearted nature of the situation.
Reactions on Social Media
The amusing incident sparked reactions on social media, with fellow BBC staff members and viewers sharing their thoughts.
Colleagues, including BBC North West presenter Steve Saul and BBC News’ creative director Chris Cook, expressed their delight at the lighthearted moment.
Viewer Responses and Enjoyment
Viewers on social media platforms joined in the laughter, with some expressing how the clip became funnier with repeated viewings.
One viewer humorously mentioned, “This is why I watch the regional news.” The human element of the blooper resonated with social media users, highlighting the enjoyment derived from such candid moments.
Recalling Past BBC On-Air Mishaps
The recent incident adds to a series of on-air mishaps by BBC presenters. In December, BBC News anchor Maryam Moshiri went viral for flashing her middle finger directly at the camera during a live broadcast.
Moshiri later clarified that it was a private joke with her team, and the BBC released the entire clip to provide context to the incident.
