Coiffured Presenter Keeps Cool With On-Air Hairdressing Blunder
British veteran TV presenter Carole Walker has used her 30 years of news reading experience to remain ice-cool after the bulletin started rolling earlier than expected and she was left brushing her hair live to air.
The BBC presenter was caught off guard – with brush and handbag on the desk – when the bulletin started to air four minutes earlier than she’s expected.
However the veteran journalist kept her cool. Dispensing with brush and bag and going straight into the auto cue as if nothing had happened. She later explained she’d merely got her timing wrong.
