WHOOPS! BBC NEWS PRESENTER APOLOGIZES FOR GIVING MIDDLE FINGER ON LIVE BROADCAST!!
A BBC news presenter has issued an apology after she was caught on camera giving the middle finger during a live broadcast. Maryam Moshiri claims that the gesture was meant as a private joke for a colleague and was not intended for viewers. She quickly realized she was on live television, pulled down her hand, and continued with the news. Moshiri took to Twitter to apologize to viewers, explaining that she was pretending to count down as the director was counting her down from 10 to 0. When they reached 1, she turned her finger around as a joke, not realizing it would be caught on camera.
