Nicky Campbell’s on-air cock-up was made even better by Rachel Burden’s comic timing
Nicky Campbell is known for the occasional on-air slip of the tongue. Like this one for example.
The one he made on 5 Live this week wasn’t of the four-letter variety but it might even be more entertaining, partly because of the time that passes before it’s put right.
Have a watch for yourself.

And just a few things people had to say about it.
Stop being cruel to Nicky, he’s a consumate broadcaster and it was a small, understandable error. If I ever met him, I’d still shake him warmly by the head.

When I heard it live I was thinking, right well she obviously started sawing and then at some point her family must have taken over.

Oh, and this.
At the end of a long day for everyone just play this over and over again. Still funny on 7th listen. https://t.co/eno7u5dLxs
