Vine: BBC presenter drops the C-Bomb during a live broadcast

Oops

Paul Moore

We certainly weren’t expecting this with our cornflakes.

BBC Breakfast presenter Bill Turnball had a bizarre brainfart this morning when he accidentally dropped the C-bomb upon an unsuspecting public.

The oddest thing about the sweary mistake was the delivery. The word he was having trouble saying was ‘client’ – which he’d only just said.

Then there was the long deliberate pause before blurting out ‘c**t’, with the veteran host casually stating:

“I regularly speak to clients about illness and pass the knowledge onto other *long pause* c**ts, er, clients as well…”

Perhaps it wasn’t a mistake at all. Maybe the sometime presenter of Songs of Praise has gone all rock’n’roll on us…
