BBC News host forced to correct himself after awkward blunder moments into show
A BBC News journalist was forced to correct himself when he made an awkward blunder just moments into a live broadcast.
Gareth Barlow was presenting the latest edition of the news when he made the error, meaning he had to correct himself. Fans loved the error and it wasn't long before he had taken to Twitter to joke about what happened amid his own error.
During the opening line of his broadcast, he had said: " Hello! I'm watching..." before realising his error and quipping to himself: "I'm watching BBC News? I'm Gareth Barlow." Correcting himself, he then added: "You're watching BBC News."
He took to social media after the incident and joked about what had happened with his followers. Sharing the clip, he wrote alongside it: "Can someone please remind me who’s watching the news…"
Gareth was presenting the BBC News (BBC)Taking to the reply section, fans joked about his error. One wrote: "You are 'kind of technically' watching the news. I mean your watching the packages and responding to output so you're right. Been one of those days... ;) At least it's not the tech having one of those days (which is the worse option)," with Gareth replying: "I’m going to take your interpretation of the situation and run with it."

Another penned: "You were watching BBC News… and hosting it. Not entirely incorrect haha," whilst a third added: "And you were all prepared and so raring to go....lol. It was an adorable little flub and you recovered so well with a great smile. You're an old pro. Wonderful to see you on our screens again. Best wishes from Western Canada."
Gareth also saw the funny side and was loving fans' responses to his error. When one fan wrote 'watching me, watching you,' next to a gif of Neil Diamond singing Sweet Caroline, Gareth was quick to reply: "This is the best response yet!"
Greg James also referenced Gareth's blunder on Radio 1 earlier. Sharing a clip, Gareth wrote alongside it: "Thanks to @gregjames for the shoutout on @BBCR1 … I’ve spent the morning practicing saying my name ready for my radio show this afternoon. Wish me luck."
