Carol Kirkwood was left red-faced after saying she had seen ‘lots of doggers’ during a weather broadcast on the BBC this morning
Carol had been trying to describe seeing lots of “dog walkers and joggers” at Greenwich Park during the BBC Breakfast broadcast when she exclaimed: “We’ve seen lots of doggers”.
Dogging is a British slang term for having sex in public in full view of others – often reported as taking place in car parks and woodlands.
And the 58-year-old was quick to realise her mistake, saying: “Not doggers of course, lots of dog walkers and joggers around here through the course of this morning.”
She then quickly cut to the forecast for the rest of the week.
The presenter then tweeted shortly after, writing: “That will teach me to try and say joggers and dog walkers in the same sentence!!! Sorry!”
The clip has quickly attracted attention online – with many viewers left in hysterics over the slip of the tongue.
