BBC Radio presenter apologises after hilarious blunder live on air
A BBC Radio presenter has apologised after accidentally yelling out a swear word live on air.
It's the worst nightmare for radio presenters, that will happen sooner or later — you think you're off air, and you make an off-colour comment/swear, blissfully unaware that it went out to tens of thousands of listeners who may have been tuning in at that exact moment.
This exact moment happened to BBC Radio Derby presenter Ian Skye, who was throwing over to the Kate Bush hit, Running Up That Hill. However, when the jingle for the station played… well, we'll let ye hear what he had to say. And don't worry, you won't have to listen too hard to hear it.
The clip was shared by TV critic Scott Bryan, where it has since gained over 1million views on Twitter (X) — with people thinking that the clip, which came about because he suffered a cramp, was hilarious.
'Cheers, this is now my alarm ring tone,' one person joked, while another wrote 'starting a petition to make 'the sound of OH F*****G HELL' the permanent jingle for BBC Radio Derby. In fact the jingle for all local radio stations.'
'Worth the licence fee alone,' another quipped, while several others said that Ian made an 'Accidental Partridge' — a reference to Steve Coogan's iconic character. A BBC Radio presenter has apologised after accidentally yelling out a swear live on air. Pic: Getty Images
Once the song wrapped up, Ian sheepishly apologised, revealing: 'I went on a course yesterday to learn to be better on the radio… I don't think they suggested suddenly getting an unbearably agonising cramp and shouting… really loud on the radio. That's probably not what I should've done.'
Ian apologised for the snafu, admitting that it would've been hard not to hear it — joking: 'you'd have had to be deaf if you didn't hear a rude word. I really profusely apologise.
'You know, it just happens, and it's instinct… and my very very calm producer said 'you're still on the radio, Ian.'' Maryam Moshiri also had to apologise after she accidentally flipped off the camera when her news bulletin went on the air a second early, going viral. Pic: Twitter
Of course, local radio means that not a lot of people would hear such a thing (unless of course someone screen records it and shares it to Twitter) — and sometimes, blunders similar to that can be made on national television.
Case in point, when the BBC's Chief Presenter Maryram Moshiri was 'joking around a bit' with her producers as they were counting down, with her raising her eyebrows and giving the camera the middle finger before immediately changing into serious newsreader mode.
'Hey everyone, yesterday just before the top of the hour I was joking around a bit with the team in the gallery,' Maryam wrote at the time. '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.
'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.'

Oasis blasted as they release limited tickets for Dublin merch shop
Oasis may have thrilled Irish fans by announcing an exclusive pop-up merchandise store in the capital - but not everyone is impressed, as many have taken to social media to blast the band for the limited number of venues. The official Oasis account announced shops in Manchester, London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh - and Dublin - but fans across Europe and beyond were quick to blast the narrow rollout and the fact that admission is ticketed and extremely limited. Despite Dublin making the shortlist, even Irish fans have been left frustrated, as e-tickets for the Irish store are limited to tight 30-minute slots and were not easily accessible when first announced. The official Oasis page on X (formerly Twitter) teased the announcement on Thursday evening, writing: "10am tomorrow - Spinningfields, Manchester." However, at the time of writing, the Manchester shop was the only one with a working link - leaving fans in other shortlisted cities like Dublin scrambling. The pop-ups will run throughout late June and July, with fans asked to select a date and a strict 30-minute time slot. Entry is free - but e-tickets are required, and spaces are capped. While Dublin fans were glad to be included in the shortlist, the restricted access left many angry. Fans from other countries also voiced their disappointment at being left out entirely. One frustrated user said: "Do this in South America!" Another asked: "Will there be special pop up shops for North America, Asia and South America?" Some were more direct, blasting the band for ignoring their global fanbase: "Do Oasis even know they have fans outside the UK? Like, in actual Europe?" and one pointed out: "yeah u hate europe tho." One desperate fan wrote: "B**ch i'm in italy I CAN'T COME F**K OFFFFFF do one in italy im begging." Oasis is playing two sold-out concerts at Croke Park in Dublin on August 16 and 17, as part of their reunion tour. Meanwhile, fans have also been warned to beware of scammers while searching for last-minute tickets to the much-hyped Oasis reunion gigs. Demand has been sky-high for the concerts, which will mark Noel and Liam Gallagher's first shows together in years. But with scammers targeting eager buyers on social media, not every deal is what it seems. One woman, who thought she had found a genuine seller, was left devastated. She explained: "He said his only condition was that I sent him selfies from the gig, and he even sent me GIFs of the band with the catch line 'All Your Dreams Are Made'. And I thought they were. I thought he can't be. He was a lovely lad, I thought. We had calls and Facetimed, and he was so personable. I just feel so embarrassed and ashamed."
