ITV News presenter Nadia Hossain has to apologise after accidentally saying Jeremy C*** live on air, instead of Jeremy Hunt.
Broadcaster Nadia was speaking to a correspondent who was out in Greater Manchester, following the news that serving MP Michelle Donelan had accused an academic of supporting Hamas.
However, during the discussion, Nina accidentally mispronounced Mr Hunt’s name, writes The Mirror.
The journalist said: “Harry, to the other big political story if we can turn our attention to that.
“The Labour leader is the latest to criticise the government for using taxpayers’ money to compensate for a minister’s mistake after the Science Secretary Michelle Donelan falsely accused an academic of supporting Hamas.
“You spoke to Mr C**t,” she said, before correcting herself saying: “Mr Hunt, how did he respond to calls for her to resign?”
At the end of the news bulletin Nina apologised for her ‘slip of the tongue’.
ITV viewers took to social media to talk about the massive on air blunder.
One said: “Watching BBC Lunchtime news. Could barely believe my eyes & ears when Nina Hussain accidentally referred to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt as Mr C**t. A Freudian slip maybe? Fair play to Nina, she styled it out well [sic]”
Another added: “No. I think you were right the first time (again).”
