A member of the public drew eyes away from a report about the upcoming meeting between the as they accidentally executed the ultimate photobomb mission.
During a newscast presented by BBC correspondent Helena Wilkinson, an innocent passer-by chose an interesting moment to a pose outside .
The journalist launched into her report containing details about the recent allegations made against one of the corporation’s star presenters that claimed he from a 17-year-old.
However, she didn’t notice the eager tourist adjusting his angles in the background of the shot, pointing gun fingers at their friend’s camera.
The individual channelled their inner 007 agent and crouched into a fighting stance as he switched up his moves, attempting to snap the perfect picture.
Screenshotting the funny blunder, a Twitter user shared the moment on social media and captioned the image: ‘Quite the pose from this man having his photo taken, pretending to be 007 – right in the middle of the BBC lunchtime news [sic].’
The same account followed up their first picture with a second showing the happy individual huddled over the phone as he checked out his shots in the back of the live report.
This time the accompanying words read: ‘A stickler for accuracy, he then inspects the photo – still live on air – to make sure she got it spot on [sic].’
Another user added information to the thread that informed the Twittersphere the amateur model ‘then walked towards the camera and grinned (after checking the pic) [sic]’.
One account commented underneath the images: ‘Saw that live and thought I’m watching a meme being created in front of me [sic].’
‘The best part of the report, whatever it was [sic],’ was a separate social media user’s response to the moment.
Ahead of the meeting between the Met police and the BBC, the journalist was delivering a live report, updating the public on what was to happen next in the unfolding controversy.
Complaints were first made against the corporation in May after which the family of the person – who was 17 when the presenter allegedly started payments back in 2020 – became frustrated when the presenter stayed on air.
