This Scottish politician didn't realise her interview was live… and it was painful to watch

Scottish politician Angela Constance got a lesson in the dangers of live TV in a BBC interview yesterday morning after not realising it was being broadcast live.

Angela, who is the cabinet member for education, was being interviewed on Sunday Politics Scotland on higher education and stumbled over her words when referencing 2012.

She asked for a do-over. And was informed they were live.

Awkward.

While it is cringe-inducing, it could have been a lot worse, in fairness.

And the interviewer could have given her a heads-up!
