BBC accidentally cuts to presenter's secret conversation in awkward live blunder
The BBC has been mocked on social media for their blunder after accidentally airing a secret conversation.
During Friday’s broadcast, presenter Anna Foster welcomed viewers to a live broadcast of BBC News at One, which featured the latest national and international news.
However, as she shared an update about adult social care, the journalist was abruptly cut from screens.

“The government has confirmed that an independent …” but before she could finish her sentence, the broadcast cut to two other Newsline presenters having a conversation.

The presenters looked as though they were greeting each other for the first time this year as one waved and said: “Hello, how are you? Happy New Year.”
However, before they could delve into their conversation, someone off-camera could be heard saying: “Sorry Jenny,” before cutting back to Anna.
Anna seemed to be unaware of the unexpected disruption to viewers as she continued to discuss the government's plans for adult social care.
