- BBC presenter Tim Willcox was caught while using his phone while sitting with his feet on the desk.
- The camera cut away from Ros Atkins, who was giving an update on the prime minister’s residence.
- Even though the gaffe lasted for a second or two, it was caught on camera.
People are frequently caught off guard while at work; but if it’s recorded on video in real time, it’s embarrassing.
Tim Willcox, a broadcaster for the BBC, was caught in such a situation when the camera switched to him; while he was using his phone while seated with his feet on the desk.
When the camera moved to Wilcox, BBC anchor Ros Atkins was outside Downing Street; providing an update on events inside the house of the British prime minister.

When the presenter realised he was being captured on video; he quickly put his feet up. The team had already returned to Atkins when the mistake occurred; but it was still recorded on video. And once it appeared on live TV; it also appeared on social media.
“BBC News unintentionally cut away to their news studio; displaying a presenter with their feet on the desk”; the description for the video that broadcaster Scott Bryan posted on Twitter said.
Even though some users laughed at the gaffe; others were quick to point out that a BBC broadcaster had been caught off guard before.
