TV presenter’s epic on air blunder ruins surprise birthday party

This is the hilarious moment a BBC weather presenter accidentally ruined a family surprise live on air.

A British weather presenter has put her foot in it, revealing a family surprise to the entirety of viewers.

The well-planned surprise party became public knowledge after her slip-up live on air, The Sun reports.

BBC North West reporter Annabel Tiffin was wrapping her show when the funny mistake was made.

Kawser Quamer had finished her weather report on Friday and then joined Tiffin on the show couch for a chat.

Tiffin asked her: “So, what have you got [coming] up at the weekend? Anything exciting?”

Quamer replied: “My niece’s surprise birthday party,” without realising that she had just revealed the surprise until her fellow presenter spelled it out.

“Oh that’s lovely. But not a surprise if she’s watching this,” Tiffin said.

The weather presenter saw the funny side of the blunder and burst out laughing, before she said: “Oh goodness me, I’ve spoiled the surprise.”
