A BBC News presenter made a shocking gesture after they found themselves tongue-tied live on air and cameras were accidentally left rolling.
Wednesday's instalment of BBC South Today saw weather presenter Alexis Green report from Oxford about flooding.
During the live segment, Alexis said: 'Residents here have learnt to live with flooding over the years and some say the 2007 floods were the worst they’ve ever experienced.’
However, the presenter then seemed to muddle her words.
She went on: 'Now, with a warming climate rainfall is expected to become heavier and more persistent in the future, which is why people here have taken matters into their own home - own hands - to basically protect their homes and their businesses.'
Almost immediately after she finished speaking, the news presenter looked towards the side and appeared to pull a face and point towards herself, not seeming to realise the cameras were still recording.

Viewers noticed Alexis' live reaction to her blunder and took to social media, some posted on X: '@AlexisGreenTV on #BBCSouthToday was on a live broadcast but her VT cut in a second too late so we saw her reaction to her word fumble earlier.'
'@AlexisGreenTV we love you as much as we love live TV.'
'@BBCSouthToday words just didn’t flow well and it showed at the end of the edit #blooper @AlexisGreenTV.'
'People have taken matters into their own homes ha into their own hands.'
'her expressions after!!!'
'A serious subject Alexis but you did make me laugh out loud!!'
It comes after journalist Matthew Amroliwala, 63, was caught up in the huge mishap, which saw him accidentally being placed next to a number of promotional clips being aired on the show earlier this month.
The reporter handled it like a true professional as he was broadcast out alongside some videos of News Analysis Editor, Ros Atkins, 51, and BBC Culture & Media Editor Katie Razzell, 54.
The video of Ros saw him talking about Radio 4's The Media Show, while Katie spoke about her new radio show.
Matthew was sat in the studio and tried to communicate with his colleagues as they were played out to the viewers simultaneously.
After realising what was going on, he stayed quiet and let the videos play out, staring down the lens before mouthing to a colleague off camera.
