Jon Inverdale Has Apologised For Saying "Rose-C*nted Glasses" On BBC Radio 5 Live

He was supposed to have said "rose-tinted glasses". The BBC has said that it was a slip of the tongue. Note: this post obviously contains strong language.

John Inverdale, the BBC sports broadcaster, accidentally said "rose-c*nted" instead of "rose-tinted", during BBC Radio 5 Live horse racing coverage from Epsom.

In the clip, Inverdale says: "This is looking at it through rose-c*nted, I mean rose-tinted glasses from the past. Apologies there for the slip of the tongue."

A BBC spokeswoman told BuzzFeed News: "It was a slip of the tongue and John apologised immediately afterwards."

Of course the gaffe is nothing compared to the time Jim Naughtie incorrectly pronounced Conservative politician Jeremy Hunt's name wrong on Today.

Naughtie said: "Well, what's happening in the course of the next hour? Well first up after the news we're going to be talking to Jeremy C*nt the Hunt to talk about.... broadband." He later apologised.
