Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan has reacted to the latest news blunder of a BBC Chief Presenter caught giving the middle finger live on air on Wednesday.
Maryam Moshiri, a senior TV reporter for the British broadcaster was seen flashing her middle finger a moment after the BBC theme music faded out.
Ms Moshiri has since apologised for the incident.
“Hey everyone, yesterday just before the top of the hour I was joking around a bit with the team in the gallery,” she wrote to X.
“I was pretending to count down as the director was counting me down from 10-0… including the finger to show the number. So, from 10 fingers held up to one. When we got to 1, I turned my finger around as a joke and did not realise that this would be caught on camera.
“It was a private joke with the team and I’m so sorry it went out on air! It was not my intention for this to happen and I’m sorry if I offended or upset anyone.”

UK talk show host Piers Morgan tested positive for Covid-19 this week despite receiving the Covid shots and booster.
The British television personality shared his Covid test Tuesday on Twitter and said he felt “as rough as a badger’s a*se” before blaming his condition on the “anti-vaccination” community.

UPDATE: I’ve tested positive for Covid, and feel as rough as a badger’s a*se, but in the spirit of ‘The Show Must Go On’, I’m going to have a go at anchoring tonight’s @PiersUncensored live from my home. Tune in at 8pm, because anything could happen….

Because I believed all the anti-vaxx experts who told me it would melt my brain & turn me into an ostrich. Not making that mistake again!

Why didn’t you get the latest booster?! Omg

In response to a cheeky post by Andrew Tate, Morgan claimed he wouldn’t have contracted COVID again if he’d just taken that latest booster shot, again blaming “anti-vaxx imbeciles.”
“Thanks for your concern, Andrew. Ironically, if I’d had another covid booster I wouldn’t have caught the damn thing again and wouldn’t be feeling so rough. That’ll teach me for listening to ill-informed anti-vaxx imbeciles on the internet… !

Hope the vaccine helps you recover from Covid @piersmorgan
This isn’t Morgan’s first encounter with Covid.
The liberal host in 2021 announced that he was experiencing long Covid symptoms, including fatigue and the loss of smell and taste.

Has anyone had long covid symptoms of fatigue & loss of taste/smell for 10 weeks or more and then fully recovered – if so, what did you do that helped get over it?
It's getting very irritating..

That Guy Seriously wanted to get one of them Fired 😂😂😂
For christ sake she arseing about with the crew..
The symbolism is ironic…
According to officials in the BBC, it was Israel’s fault 😂
Drop the beeb donkey!
Morgan talks out of both sides of his mouth!
The middle finger was actually meant to be seen.. it's to you the people who don't comply follow their rules!
Queen
It’s just a finger
It's Sunday, 10th December 2023. I just put a search for, ' news', and this pish came up second in line. Come on AI, get a grip.
It's so shocking that it is blurred. 😂😂😂
The BBC is a woke shit network.
BBC is the Only one I trust
Piers off
no one respects a weasel, piers morgan is a psychopathic, Machiavellian, self centered freak.
To be honest a lot of the British public think the same towards the bbc
😂
She was just doing a on-air 54321 countdown with her fingers. She was just off by a second. 😂
She has 1000 C 🐓 Stare ?
Tipical brain less 😂 western people
the tolerant morally and intellectually superior left on full display
That’s free journalism
It's the BBC telling it's viewers what they think of them.
Ali Khamenii, Iran's regime supreme leader, ordered an immediate ceasefire! He wants to prevent the elimination of his pro radical groups like 'Jihadi Islamic'!
– He ordered to target the US embassy in Baghdad and asked Yemen's Houthis to launch ballistic missiles at Israel and US navy and attack business ships and Hezbollah target civilians cars with anti tank missiles!
Dec 2023- Iran's regime president was targeted with ‘crimes against humanity’ complaints in Switzerland before attending the United Nations Refugee Council on Dec 13!
GENEVA: A legal complaint asks Swiss federal public prosecutor Andreas Muller to ensure the arrest and prosecution of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi “over his participation in acts of genocide, torture, extrajudicial executions, 1988 purge of thousands of dissidents and other crimes against humanity.”
– Sep 20 2023-Israel's ambassador is DETAINED by UN security at the UN General Assembly!!
He had protested Iran's regime President Raisi's speech by holding up a picture of Mahsa Amini (22-year-old Iranian woman who was murdered by Islamic morality military, for not covering enough of her hair)!!
– Erdan walked silently towards the stage, holding the sign above his head. On it was written: 'Iranian women deserve freedom now!'
-He later tweeted that he would never stop exposing 'the UN's moral distortions'
– Dec 8 2023-Iran's regime has prevented relatives of 'Mahsa Amini', from leaving the country to accept the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize!
Their passports were confiscated at Tehran's Airport!!
What's hilarious about all of this is that the reporters pretend that they're actually concerned about their news stories .
What? People in the UK pay a License to look at TV? WOW! Are there other countries that do that?
Another deportation back to crapistan.
You can laugh. But the Russians and world are watching. This country has become a joke. No one will ever take us seriously in the world because our media has lost it’s integrity. Never again will we be able to lecture other countries and they shouldn’t follow our lead. Shame on us. She should get the sack.
😂😂😂😂 👍
Lol..all good. I never watch bbc because I feel the same about them.😂 from Australia.
This Muslim BBC presenter should be deported….they are all jihadists
Wow she’s a real c u next Tuesday
Fake news
Piers deserves something other than the middle finger. More like a kick in his sorry sold a$$
A lot of stuff goes down when TV crews are on commercial break.
Fun. Of course commenters will want her cancelled and blame the BBC.
don't they have like a few seconds of delay during live so the producer can prevent these things from happening?
Fu. Ck the royals
This is the funniest thing I have seen since Manchester United are Rubbish 😂😂. Gotta love the fucking BBC, ay
I'm confused
Who she doing that 2?
Her camera man?
It's the switch for me 😂😂
That switch was sociopathic
After so many years finally BBC made an epic headline.
BBC is an Islamist propaganda channel
