BBC Weather Presenter Carol Kirkwood Suffers 'Doggers' Blunder During Live Report

A BBC weather presenter had an unfortunate slip up of the tongue during a live report this morning.

As the sun was 'beating down' on Greenwich Park, London, just before 8am, Carol Kirkwood was there to describe the scene and paint a picture for viewers across the country.

Of course, on such a fine morning in Greenwich Park, it's likely you'll see many joggers and dog walkers out and about; unfortunately (for Carol) though, she accidentally conflated the two, leaving us with 'doggers'.

She said: "Good morning everybody, and Greenwich Park is one of the oldest of the royal parks, and look at it - fabulous.

"The sun is beating down and we've seen lots of doggers, lot of, not doggers, of course, lots of dog walkers and joggers around here through the course of this morning."

You can watch the unfortunate/fortunate blunder here:

Like a true pro, Carol didn't allow her dogging accident to throw her and she continued with the forecast like nothing ever happened.

Her work done, she has since taken to Twitter to apologise for the gaffe:

No apology needed Carol, honestly - what a way to start the week.

Earlier this year, a weatherman was left red faced - and much more to boot - after he accidentally activated a random funny filter generator on a camera before delivering a piece about heavy snowfall.

Justin Hinton was about to go live on WLOS ABC 13, a local TV channel in Asheville, North Carolina, when he accidentally put on a camera filter that cycled through a variety of hilarious augmented reality additions to his face.

He was, at various points, wearing a big gold chain, blessed with a load of weird and wacky facial hair and an actual wizard. Oh, and at one stage he also had giant googly eyes.

In a later Facebook post, he explained: "The photographer I was working with said something about the screen having weird faces.

"He didn't elaborate, so I said it would probably go away. Needless to say, it did not go away."
