BBC News presenter hilariously mocks herself after huge on-air blunder
BBC weather presenter Alexis Green had an unfortunate moment on air when she appeared to forget what she was going to say and proceeded to mock herself on camera Viewers were left in stitches when a BBC presenter fluffed her lines live on air. Alexis Green was reporting live from Oxford regarding recent flooding when she forgot what she was wanting to say. The unfortunate mishap came after in-house South Today newsreader Jo Kent introduced Alexis, who was stood by the River Thames. All seemed to be going smoothly at first as weather presenter Alexis, wearing a black puffer, said: "Residents here have learnt to live with flooding over the years and some say the 2007 floods were the worst they've ever experienced." But proceedings took a dive as Alexis seemingly suffered an embarrassing memory blank. She tried to continue as she said: "Now, with a warming climate, rainfall is expected to become heavier and more persistent in the future." However, she then started stuttering, continuing: "Which is why people here have taken matters into their own homes, hou-, own, own, hands." She was visibly flustered as she changed her thought process all around to say: "Basically, to protect their homes and their businesses." While her words got jumbled, it was her actions that got viewers at home laughing. Alexis was seen mocking her own mistake as she curled her lip and pointed her head. While the camera quickly cut to a prerecorded take as Alexi walked along the river, the mishap was surprisingly kept in the version on BBC iPlayer. Fans then reacted on social media, with one Twitter /X fans writing: "One wrote: "@AlexisGreenTV we love you as much as we love live TV." "Alexis has malfunctioned," joked another. A third wrote: "Her expression," alongside two laughing emojis. It's far from the first time a presenter at the organisation has suffered such an awkward moment. In 2023, BBC Breakfast's Ben Boulos mistook retail analyst Teresa Wickham's dystonia symptoms for nodding. Their interaction went viral on TikTok and Teresa said the incident actually helped in raising awareness about the condition. According to the NHS, dystonia is "the name for uncontrolled and sometimes painful muscle movements (spasms)". The health organisation says the condition is usually a lifelong problem, but treatment can help relieve the symptoms. Symptoms include uncontrolled muscle cramps and spasms, shaking and uncontrolled blinking. Ben revisited this awkward moment a year later while catching up with the expert to talk more about her condition. Opening the segment in December last year, Ben admitted to co-host Sarah Campbell how "mortified" he felt after misjudging the situation. He said: "The thing about this job that we do is that if you say something wrong, put your foot in it, it can very easily go viral. "Remember, you were here with me when I introduced a guest on Zoom, noticed she was shaking her head, and assumed she was just disagreeing with me in disbelief. But then, I commented on it, and she kindly clarified that she actually has a brain disorder called Dystonia, which causes involuntary muscle spasms making her head shake. I couldn't have been more embarrassed about it. It spread like wildfire."

BBC presenter 'flips the bird' after mistakenly believing she's not on live TV
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A BBC presenter has been caught making a rude gesture towards the camera as she mocked herself for tripping over her words. Weatherwoman Alexis Green had been reporting live from Oxford on a feature about flooding and mistakenly believed she had been taken off camera. Of course, it's not the first time a BBC newsreader has been caught doing the same while cameras were still rolling. In 2023, Maryam Moshiri apologised for a rude blunder after she had been jokingly counting down before cameras started rolling, and gave her middle finger when she got to 'one'. This time, Green made the gesture towards herself after stumbling over her words during her report. She had been saying: 'Residents here have learnt to live with flooding over the years and some say the 2007 floods were the worst they've ever experienced.' Getting a few words mixed up, she then said: 'Now, with a warming climate, rainfall is expected to become heavier and more persistent in the future which is why people here have taken matters into their own homes… han-own, own, hands.' 'Basically, to protect their homes and their businesses,' she added, appearing to look flustered. Thinking the camera had then cut to another clip, Green was caught on camera making gestures including appearing to give the finger. Of course, it didn't go unnoticed by viewers, with @Brynwales writing on X: '@AlexisGreenTV we love you as much as we love live TV.' 'I saw that too,' @OliReading replied, later sharing: '@AlexisgreenTV on #BBCSouthToday was on a live broadcast but her VT cut in a second too late so we saw her reaction to her word fumble earlier.' Sharing the clip on the platform, @Billy_runs said: '@BBCSouthToday words just didn't flow well and it showed at the end of the edit #blooper @AlexisGreenTV.' Greggy wrote: '@AlexisGreenTV don't worry, sure no one noticed.' Darren added: '@AlexisGreenTV A serious subject Alexis but you did make me laugh outloud!!' When Moshiri was caught on camera making a rude gesture as the midday news bulletin began, she apologised with the whole clip later being shared. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video She explained she had jokingly been counting down, culminating in pulling her middle finger for the number one as she larked around with the crew, and had not expected the moment to air. She wrote on X: 'So someone released the full video ! It wasn't the BBC who released this and it certainly wasn't me! But in a way I think I'm glad this is out there, as it shows I WAS having a bit of a joke with the crew during the countdown. Again, so sorry it went out on air. It was meant to be a private laugh.' As the video made its way around social media, people were in hysterics at the faux pas. 'A meme is born,' someone said, while another penned: 'I know I shouldn't laugh, but lol, what a time to be alive.' 'What a silly and unprofessional thing to do,' one viewer fumed. Moshiri had earlier apologised on X, writing: 'Hey everyone , yesterday just before the top of the hour I was joking around a bit with the team in the gallery. '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. 'When we got to 1 I turned finger around as a joke and did not realise that this would be caught on camera.

"It was quite a chilly start in Scotland a little earlier on, in fact temperatures were as low as minus three." Turning to the screen she said: "Hopefully we'll be able to show you at some point this evening." However, the screen still displayed the moving BBC News ident graphic. Turning back to the camera, she manfully ploughed on with her broadcast, adding: "But it was a cold start in Scotland. "And then the sunshine got going and we actually saw those temperatures climbing up to highs of 23 degrees." But things got even worse when an incorrect graphic suddenly flashed up on screen. And when the right one finally did appear, Louise's face was gone. She exclaimed: "There we go! Oops, now I've disappeared. But I'll explain to you." The Sun has reached out to the BBC for comment.
