The BBC was left red-faced after a boozy football fan interrupted the BBC News – and sang ‘f*** the Tories’ live on air.

The reporter involved immediately apologised. However, he later said on X, the social media platform previously called Twitter, that the incident was a “personal career highlight!”.

It happened while Joe Inwood,a Senior Field Producer for the BBC World Service, was doing an outside broadcast from the fan zone at the Box Park in Corydon, South London, after England smashed China 6-1 in the Women’s World Cup, after England beat China 6-1.

The segment on the BBC News at One saw Inwood walking around and talking to fans about what they thought of the tournament so far – and England’s scintillating win. However, one fan seemed a little too joyous about the Lionessess victory.

The fan, with his arms stretched wide – carrying a pint of lager in one and what looked like a walking cane in the other – made B-line for the Beeb man. And then sang the offensive chat.

Inwood immediately turned away, saying: “Oh no! Sorry about that! I do apologise about that. I’m sorry about that.” However, this evening, commenting on a video of the incident shared on X, he said: “It’s a personal career highlight!”
