BBC news presenter mistaken for worker while reporting<\/h3>\n

The BBC suffered a blunder this morning after one of its reporters had to reassure a factory worker that he didn\u2019t actually work there – while live on air. Broadcasting from a factory in Birmingham, the Beeb reporter was donning a high-vis vest while reporting about UK inflation.<\/p>\n

With his clothing seemingly identical to many others wheeling around carts nearby, an innocent labourer strolled over to talk.<\/p>\n

The hilarious incident prompted a quick response of \u201cI don\u2019t work here, I\u2019m just doing the news\u201d, followed by a bemused chuckle from the reporter. The ten second clip has racked up thousands of likes already.<\/p>\n

While the journalist explained to the camera that the rate of rising prices has \u201cslowed down again\u201d, a man in a blue jacket can be seen in the background gazing around the workplace, before slowly approaching the hack.<\/p>\n

Despite being mid-sentence talking about \u201cthe typical basket of goods and services\u201d, the blue-jacketed man was undeterred and seemed to ask the reporter a question. Sadly, his voice wasn\u2019t audible, but the bizarre incident brought about a laugh.<\/p>\n

The clip drew in some hilarious replies on X\/Twitter, with many jokingly implying that the reporter was indeed a factory worker, while one pointed out the absurdity of a reporter wearing the same clothes while broadcasting live: \u201cThe hi-viz vest is a cunning disguise though.”<\/p>\n
