BBC News presenter Maryam Moshiri declared “I’m Ron Burgundy” after an on-air blunder on Tuesday morning (11 June).
Ms Moshiri was introducing a segment on “new hope” for the dwindling hazel dormice population when she noticed an issue with her autocue.
Reading from the screen, she said: “It is hoped a new project which sees them re-released into their natural habit could help to restore their population.
“Is it habit or habitat? I am probably going to get emails about this. Well it is habit on the autocue so what can I say.”
Acknowledging the blunder, Ms Moshiri signed off by saying “I am Ron Burgundy” – referencing the infamous Anchorman character played by Will Ferrell.
