BBC presenter mistakes stack of copy paper for iPad - live on air

We've all been there.

BBC presenter Simon McCoy picked left viewers a little bit confused this morning when we went live on air holding a stack of photocopier paper.

He accidentally mistook it for his iPad, picking it up as he headed into the live-broadcast shot. Now, either he never noticed, or he has the greatest poker face we've ever seen:

The Guardian extracted the following comment from the BBC:

"This morning as Simon McCoy was preparing to introduce this story, instead of picking up his tablet to hold as he went to air, he mistakenly picked up a ream of paper that was sitting next to it.

"In the rush of live news, he didn't have an opportunity to swap the items, so simply went with it."

McCoy is also the presenter who gave us the no-nonsense approach to the royal baby, when he said "plenty more to come, none of it news, but that won't stop us."

What a pro.
