A BBC presenter was left rushing to correct himself after accidentally dropping an X-rated gaffe live on air.
Over the weekend BBC Radio 1’s weekend breakfast show host Sam MacGregor was announcing the conclusion of Lizzo’s hit song Juice.
As he faded away the song to speak to listeners, he had a slip-up.
‘Jizzo!,’ he declared.
Immediately realising his mistake, Sam rushed to correct himself while his co-host Danni Diston burst into laughter.
Attempting to come back from the blunder, Sam told listeners: ‘Oh, sorry! Let me say that again. Ready for it? Sorry, sorry.’
While Sam might have been hoping those tuning in might have missed it, the moment was quickly shared on social media.

‘Don’t worry nobody noticed,’ Scott Bryan shared alongside a clip on X, also tagging the presenter.
‘That’s lifted my whole day,’ James Ball commented after listening to the hilarious mistake.
Re-sharing the clip, Sam also made light of the situation and joked he would be practising to make sure it didn’t happen again.
‘L for Lizzo, J for Juice, L for Lizzo, J for Juice, L for Lizzo, J for Juice….’ he posted.
Sam is far from the first presenter to be left slightly red-faced on air.

Earlier this year broadcaster Roger Johnson presented a segment on North West Tonight about the world’s largest cuckoo clock.
When it came to first mentioning the item, a slip of the tongue saw Roger instead say a similar four-letter word instead.
Instantly realising his mistake, he sought to correct himself, repeating himself but making sure to say: ‘Clock collection.’
Pointing fun at himself, he jokingly quipped: ‘That was easy to say.’
Making sure to again clarify, and cover himself, he later added: ‘Clocks. That’s what I said. Just to be clear.’
Last year The Project New Zealand presenter Kanoa Lloyd also had quite the slip up while presenting a segment about some important news regarding the reintroduction of three Cadbury Roses flavours.

However, when doing so, a slip of the tongue left her and the panel in stiches.
The 36-year-old was reading from the autocue when she managed to mess up her pronunciation of ‘comeback’.
‘After getting ditched in 2018, strawberry creme, orange creme and peppermint creme are making a c**box,’ she said.
Quickly realising the mistake, Kanoa covered her face while breaking into fits of laughter.
