BBC newsreader does bizarre peacock impression live on air – two years after finger gaffe
Maryam Moshiri was presenting a segment on a loose peacock terrorising a small town in Wiltshire when she shocked viewers by imitating the sounds of the colourful bird.
'I've been told by my producer not to do an impression of a peacock so I'm going to do it anyway,' she said.
Ms Moshiri went viral two years ago when she accidentally displayed her middle finger at the camera during a news bulletin in 2023, later apologising for the incident by saying she was 'joking around with the team in the gallery'.

Vicky Pattison shares fears over 'Strictly curse' rumours as she names dream partner
Vicky Pattison, who will appear on the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing alongside Dani Dyer and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, was asked if she had her "eyes" on any potential dance partners Vicky Pattison has named her dream dance partner as she shared her fears about falling victim to the so-called Strictly "curse". In a recent chat with co-host Angela Scanlon on the Get A Grip podcast, the Geordie Shore star admitted that she was "scared" as she gears up for her upcoming appearance on the hugely popular BBC dance competition. Vicky, a former I'm A Celeb winner, is just one of 15 stars to be announced for the 2025 series. Some of the famous names include Love Island's Dani Dyer and football legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. As she shared details about her preparations, Vicky was asked if she had her "eyes" on any potential dance partners, and it seems that she's keen to avoid the show's reported "curse". It refers to an unusual phenomenon whereby contestants enter the show with strong relationships away from the dancefloor, only for them to end - seemingly due to their participation. She said: 'No, so obviously I'm newly married, and the press are just, like, wild, aren't they? I feel like the whole, like, chemistry between couples can easily be, like, misrepresented.' She added: 'For that side of things, I would absolutely really love a gay partner, just because I don't want any of the rumours. But, like, you can't go around requesting things like that.' Vicky said she loves Johannes Radebe, to which Angela wholeheartedly agreed. However, her co-host shut down any prospect of the two being paired up as she claimed he was "too tall" for Vicky. Vicky replied that she'd been told this previously, as Angela, who appeared alongside Strictly pro Carlos Gu in the 2023 series, admitted that she'd "kinda" had her eyes on him for a partner. In response, a laughing Vicky dubbed Johannes a "popular fella" and noted that she might not be "waif-like" enough for Carlos. The 'curse' has reportedly led to upheavals in the personal lives of contestants and dancers alike, occasionally resulting in new relationships — such as Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg, and Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton. Meanwhile, Vicky married The Only Way Is Essex 's Ercan Ramadan last year, after being in a relationship with him since 2019. Ercan proposed to the reality star in 2022 while they were in Dubai. On August 24 last year, they tied the knot in Marylebone Town Hall in London, later travelling to Puglia, Italy, for another wedding at Castle Elvira. At the time, Vicky took to Instagram, saying: "I have honestly never felt happiness like it - the most special day of our lives." Speaking to OK! about the couple's potential baby plans, she revealed that they intended to "enjoy being married" for "at least a year" before she opened up about their sleeping arrangements. She said: "I'd love a honeymoon first! A little week in the Caribbean would be lovely. We're just desperate to sleep in the same bed together. I sleep with the dogs [they have two] and he sleeps in the spare room!"

"They are not like-for-like players, but it is about making an impact and he certainly did that."The reverse pass for Erling Haaland, when he scored his second, was clever and a typical City move."All afternoon he was a threat.

Mum easily saves herself £400 by DIY-ing the perfect baby wardrobe using £60 B&Q basic buy
DI-WOW She's even got a plan to make the wardrobe work when her daughter is older too A MUM has shown how she saved herself a whopping £400 by turning a basic £60 buy into a gorgeous baby wardrobe. Nikole, who welcomed a baby girl into the world four months ago, admitted she'd been looking at different wardrobe options for the tot, but didn't want to spend loads. 4 4 4 So, she came up with a clever way to use an B&Q unit instead. "Turn this Kallax unit into a wardrobe for my four-month-old with me," Nikole wrote over the top of a picture on TikTok. She then shared a snap of the inspiration, as well as the final product. In another video, she detailed how she completed the transformation step by step. She began by taking out the centre sections of the top two shelves, before replacing it with a curtain pole. She then used some drawers, also from B&Q, to put in the third shelf down, before using fabric containers to go in the bottom two sections. Nikole finished off the transformation by adding some plastic baskets for extra storage at the bottom of the top part, which she got from TikTok Shop. "They're actually quite handy because you can stack them on top of each other but I think it all matches," she added. "It makes it all look really girly and I love it!" Nikole concluded by saying she's "very happy" with how it turned out, and is "obsessed" with the finished look. 'I can't wait for my kids to move out in September – I'm celebrating getting my life back with £2,000 party' "Swear I'd never seen anyone do this before and I did this for my little boy a few months back!" one person commented on the TikTok. "Now we've all had the same idea! Great minds think alike!" "It's such a quick and easy way at to add a little bit of extra storage," Nikole replied. "You literally saved my storage problem!" another praised. "I did this when my son was born, best thing I ever did," a third exclaimed. "So creative, love it!" someone else said. "That;s actually a really good idea!" another wrote. While someone else praised Nikole's "amazing work", another called it "so smart". "Dammit I got rid of ours! Wish I thought of this!" someone else sighed. However, there was another mum who said that while the wardrobe works "brilliantly for when they are tiny", it's harder as they get older, as the "clothes got bigger and it just didn't work". But Nikole had thought of that too, as she replied: "When she gets bigger I'm planning to remove the pink boxes, move the drawers down and make the wardrobe part longer to get more use out of it." 4
