A BBC news anchor was caught showing her middle finger during a live broadcast on Wednesday. Video shows presenter Maryam Moshiri giving the obscene middle finger gesture at the camera just as she appears on-screen to begin delivering the day's news headlines. Quickly realizing she is live on-air, Moshiri pulls her hand away and starts reading the news, though she stumbles over her words in an apparent sign of embarrassment. Moshiri later apologized, explaining she was joking around with studio crew, pretending to count down to the broadcast with hand signals when she accidentally flipped the middle finger not realizing she was live. The cringeworthy gaffe comes a few years after another BBC presenter was famously caught flashing the middle finger on-air before realizing he was live.
