BBC presenter Nicky Campbell shocks 5 Live listeners with the c-word

BBC presenter Nicky Campbell shocked Radio 5 Live listeners by accidentally swearing after a slip of the tongue during his breakfast show.

Campbell introduced a Countryside Alliance guest on his breakfast show and said he was ‘pro ----ing’.



What he had meant to say was that Tim Bonner, the pressure group's head of media, was pro-hunting.

Campbell, who is also the presenter of the BBC's flagship programme for Holy Week, apologised profusely for the mistake.



However, listeners were less than impressed with the verbal slip-up and posted angry messages on internet chat rooms.

One post said: “I’ll never be able to hear his voice now without thinking of the C word. It’s disgusting at any time – but particularly at 8.45 in the morning. I can’t believe the BBC let him get away with it.”
