TV presenter involved in hilarious on-air blunder

Whoops.

A BBC presenter mistakenly revealed the details of her niece’s surprise birthday party live on-air. BBC Weather’s Kawser Quamer was left red-faced after she started chatting about the party before realising that she had given the game away. A clip of Qaumer has gone viral on social media in which she returned to the sofa after finishing the weather report for North West Tonight. Presenter Annabel Tiffin then asked: “So, what have you got (coming) up at the weekend? Anything exciting?” Quamer innocently replied: “My niece’s surprise birthday party,” without realising she had spelled out the surprise until her colleague pointed it out. “Oh that’s lovely. But not a surprise if she’s watching this,” Tiffin said. Seeing the funny side of it, Quamer said: “Oh goodness me, I’ve spoiled the surprise.”

Don't worry @KawserQuamer there's only several hundred thousand watching live on TV and millions more have seen it here on X! Happy birthday to your niece! The reaction from @annabelvtiffin ! -North West Tonight weeknights at 6.30pm on BBC One. pic.twitter.com/Avyip3hxy0

She then gave the shush sign to keep the viewers quiet before she then burst out laughing. Viewers saw the funny side of the moment with one saying: “We were watching it last night. Gave us a great hoot. Styled it out well. Happy birthday to your niece.” Another commented: “Announcing it live on television makes up for it, I think.” A third added: Brilliant, I needed that laugh tonight, thank you!” We hope Kawser’s niece has a lovely not-so surprise birthday party!
