Embarrassing moments happen to the best of us.

But it does hit a little harder when your awkward moment happens live, on television, in front of thousands of people.
This is not the first time a presenter has accidentally done or said something while live on-air, and it certainly won't be the last. It is the most recent though and it happened on one of the biggest broadcasting channels in the world.
BBC News anchor Lukwesa Burak was hosting her usual programme when she finished her news report, thinking she was no longer being filmed while a pre-recorded segment played.

Unfortunately for her, this was not the case.
As she was mid-stretch, the cameras switched on and back on her.

Luckily Burak handled the moment with grace, composed herself, and continued as if nothing happened.
The anchor even took to Twitter to share a tweet, which now has over 2.6-million views, replying to comments saying she's happy she could bring some joy and laughter:
Thank you folks: Colleagues - present & former, and all you wonderful viewers. X https://t.co/6LzyVCXXqe
