So someone released the full video !
It wasn’t the BBC who released this and it certainly wasn’t me! But in a way I think I’m glad this is out there, as it shows I WAS having a bit of a joke with the crew during the countdown.
Again, so sorry it went out on air. It was meant to be a private laugh.
I’m letting someone else do the countdown tonight ! 😂
I’ll be home with the family .. wishing you all a wonderful New Year. 🥳
May you all enjoy health and happiness in 2024 🫶🏼
Hey everyone , yesterday just before the top of the hour I was joking around a bit with the team in the gallery.
I was pretending to count down as the director was counting me down from 10-0.. including the fingers to show the number. So from 10 fingers held up to one.
When we got to 1 I turned finger around as a joke and did not realise that this would be caught on camera.
It was a private joke with the team and I’m so sorry it went out on air! It was not my intention for this to happen and I’m sorry if I offended or upset anyone. I wasn’t ‘ flipping the bird’ at viewers or even a person really.
It was a silly joke that was meant for a small number of my mates. 🤦🏻♀️
Hey - just to say the BBC did not release this ( have no idea who did)- but in a way I’m glad at least people can see it was a mistimed joke countdown with my colleagues! Which I’m sorry about.
It does show, however, that I wasn’t lying!
So happy to be back at work today - presenting the evening news on @BBCOne .
Thanks to all of those who have sent me supportive messages over the past couple of days!
Totally love my job and the team at @BBCNews 🙌🏼🫶🏼
I knew my Italian would come in useful one day 😂😂
Lovely to talk once more to the super talented @mengonimarco this evening on @BBCNews
Thanks to @MarvinNadalutti and @TomBrada1991 for producing this !
Join me at the top of the hour on BBC News. A really busy hour produced by the wonderful @HelenDevlin4 , Jenny directing and @CarolineBatt on the floor!
I felt like Ron Burgandy! Literally just read it out thinking
‘ well maybe a habit is the special word for a Dormouse’s home’ 😂😂
Swiftly corrected in my ear by the gallery ! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Earlier we reported on some of the pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the weekend.We spoke about “several demonstrations across Britain during which people voiced their backing for Hamas”.
We accept this was poorly phrased and was a misleading description of the demonstrations.
When you get that horrible tickly throat and coughing fit - but you are broadcasting!
Had to give up after a bit! Thanks to director Sarah for going to the clip early for me!!
