ITV News Anglia incident

She made the headlines after she was shown joking with colleagues and checking her appearance, without realising she was live on air on the morning of Monday 15 January 2007. The Daily Mail said that she could be seen brushing her hair and pouting in readiness for her live broadcast, before putting her hand up the front of her blouse to adjust her microphone.[2]

Anglia spokesman Jim Woodrow told the Press Gazette: "A switching error led to viewers seeing some light-hearted banter involving our presenter Emma Baker and our production team. There was nothing said which we feel might have upset the viewers."[3]
