Looks like Simon McCoy was on the way to refill the photocopier…
If you remember the name Simon McCoy it may be because he is the BBC reporter who had the deceny to admit nothing was going on during the royal baby kerfuffle a few months back.
This morning, Simon is grabbing the headlines for a different reason as he bizarrely appeared on camera delivering a report in studio on drunk tanks with a ream of A4 paper in his hand.
The BBC offered this explanation: “This morning as Simon McCoy was preparing to introduce this story, instead of picking up his tablet to hold as he went to air, he mistakenly picked up a ream of paper that was sitting next to it.
“In the rush of live news, he didn’t have an opportunity to swap the items, so simply went with it.”

Simon might be our new favourite news reporter, with sincere apologies to Bryan Dobson and Sharon Ní Bheoláin.
