News viewers were left howling at over .
Presenter Rajini Vaidyanathan had been discussing Senators when she made the slip-up, and accidentally called the former US president ‘Tramp’.
Hosting BBC World News, she had begun: ‘Now there are health concerns about the top Republican Senator Mitch McConnell.
‘He froze while answering a reporter’s question during a press conference in Kentucky.’
She went on: ‘Now for background, Mr McConnell is 81 and has served as a Senator in Washington for 39 years.
‘The average age of the US Senator is 64. By way of comparison, President Joe Biden is 80 years old and Donald Tramp… Donald Trump, pardon me, is 77.’
This comes as Trump in Georgia.
The former president is one of 19 co-defendants indicted by a grand jury in Fulton County for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Vaidyanathan quickly recovered from the mishap, but it didn’t go unnoticed by viewers.
One laughed: ‘The BBC World News presenter just said “Donald Tramp” when talking about US Senators etc.’
Another said: ‘Was it a slip of the tongue or in fact a scathing true description? Donald tramp.’
‘Ooops bit of a slip up there,’ someone else wrote.
BBC viewers have been aired in previous weeks, with unlucky host Gareth Barlow
Barlow, 32, has been a senior reporter for four years, but even the best in the business can’t always escape from the .
When introducing the nightly bulletin on Sunday evening, he got his words a little mixed-up and gave viewers a memorable introduction to the show.
‘Hello,’ he began, and everything appeared to be fine. But then: ‘I’m watching– I’m watching BBC News? I’m Gareth Barlow. You’re watching BBC News.’
The clip was then shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Barlow himself, who was able to poke some fun at himself, joking with his followers on the social media site.
‘Can someone please remind me who’s watching the news?’ he captioned the post, before sharing the short funny clip with his 11,700 followers.
