TV host hides behind desk after incredibly x-rated comment live on air

A TV presenter was caught up in a rather awkward moment live on air after an accidental blunder had her hiding behind the desk.

QVC's Toni Brattin inadvertently named a sex act while trying to flog a selection of wigs on the shopping channel, which quickly caught the attention of viewers online.

The 66-year-old was appearing on the show to showcase a hairpiece from her Toni Brattin Wigs & Hair Fabulous line.

Toni had turned her back to the camera as she tried to explain a wave pattern and the texture of one of the hair pieces when she made the accidental slip up. A clip of the moment quickly went viral and sent social media users into a frenzy.

Much to her quite obvious dismay, she said: "It looks like you went and got a blow job" before stuttering and correcting herself, adding: "At your... a blowout at your salon." She is heard to faintly whisper 'oh my god' before adding: "And it looks beautiful".

The host is heard giggling as she begins slowly crouching down beneath the desk and out of shot in embarrassment over the on-air mistake. Meanwhile her co-host Anchor Terri Conn quickly changes the subject to save the day and begins talking about free shipping.

The camera then cuts to Toni, who is kneeling on the ground, but viewers of the broadcast had already spotted the blunder which was widely shared on X.

The star was thankfully able to laugh about her slip-up as she shared the video to her Instagram on Wednesday (5 August) along with the caption: "The show must go on" alongside a laughing emoji.

She then added: "Love you" along with the hashtags 'bloopers, blowout, and live TV.'

"This happened on live TV" one person posted in a clip on X, which has now been viewed more than 12 million times. Users flooded into the responses, as one person wrote: "I heard her whisper 'oh my god!' right after 'correcting' herself lmao."

Another quipped: "To this day, she has never turned round or shown her face on TV again," as a third posted: "She way better than me cuz I would have been CACKLING uncontrollably if I just did that on live TV" and: "The way she tried to disappear under the desk" followed by laughing face emojis.

"Did I just say what I think I said?"

In a recent interview with TMZ, Toni praised the QVC network for their handling of the incident and directly addressed what happened. "I've been doing television in the shopping channels for like almost 30 years now. So, you know, you would think it's old hat and usually it is," she explained.

"But I know like in my case sometimes you never really know what's going to come out of my mouth. I mean, because when we're doing a show, you're always your mind is going 50 directions.

"So your brain is really kind of multi-functioning and you're kind of in autopilot when you're talking because you've said this so many times."

She continued: "I said what I said. What I meant to say was a blow out. Obviously it didn't come out that way. And so, at the moment it comes out, you almost say to yourself, did I just say what I think I said, right? So, it was one of those moments and of course, you can't grab those words back.

"At the time I was thinking, and I tried to real quick, to correct it and say the correct terminology, a blowout. But by then, obviously everyone caught it."
