Video: F*cking hell! Sky News reporter hilariously swears on “live” TV

Grab your loved ones and run to the nearest shelter, because someone's about to drop the F-Bomb...

Grab your loved ones and run to the nearest shelter, because someone’s about to drop the F-Bomb…

Uh-oh. Somebody’s in trouble.

While reporting outside Westminster on the recent European elections, Jon Craig, Chief Political Correspondent for Sky News, dropped an absolute on-air clanger when he loudly exclaimed “f*ckin’ hell” after being interrupted by a mystery man known only as ‘Big Ben.’

It seems that whoever was responsible for uploading the footage of Craig’s report into the news feature, instead of using the real election report, must have accidentally used one of the outtakes. Whoops.

JOE’s favourite moment?

It has to be the absolutely brilliant look on the face of Craig’s Sky News colleague, Lukwesa Burak, as she stares at her monitor in complete disbelief (see pic above). Ha! To be fair to the apologetic presenter in question, she handles the error perfectly and moves swiftly on.

Thankfully for all of us here at JOE, however, one eagle-eyed viewer captured the magnificent potty-mouthed moment on camera.

Enjoy…

UPDATE: The original video has unfortunately since been removed, so here’s the best Vine that we can find… for now.
