VIDEO: BBC reporter accidently brands UKIP a personality c***

BBC journalist Norman Smith had a rather unfortunate slip of the tongue during a live discussion about leadership issues within the UK Independence Party (Ukip).

Smith was reporting on comments made by Ukip MEP Patrick O'Flynn and was trying to say that it was O'Flynn's belief that Nigel Farage had turned the party into a personality 'cult'.

Unfortunately, that was not the word that came out of his mouth.

'Cult'. 'Cult'. 'Personality cult'. Ok, I'm ready - let's do this. pic.twitter.com/Izen8QhWEh

After turning the air blue, the experienced political journalist then professionally moved on with his report.

These things happen we suppose!
