BBC weatherman Alex Deakin makes c**t gaffe - video

BBC weatherman Alex Deakin made an unfortunate blooper on Saturday's BBC World weather forecast, uttering the word c**t in error.

Deakin joked on Twitter afterwards that he might be collecting his P45 soon following his swear word blunder.



"I think the less said the better about that last broadcast," he wrote.

During the forecast for Sunday, Deakin said: "It is simply a lovely winter's day tomorrow, buckets loads of c***...sunshine across central and Eastern England."

Other BBC presenters have made similar errors in recent years, including Radio 4 DJs Andrew Marr and James Naughtie, who mispronounced the name of culture secretary Jeremy Hunt.
