BBC News viewers open-mouthed as guest wrestles with cat in chaotic live interview

BBC NEWS viewers were left open-mouthed as a guest wrestled with her cat in a chaotic live interview.

The hilarious blunder happened when a guest was being interviewed on a news story.

As the discussion aired presenter Sally Bundock put a question to the guest before she was interrupted.

The woman's pet cat made a cameo and jumped up on her lap.

In a bid to keep the show on the road, the guest quickly but dramatically grabbed the animal and wrestled it back to the ground.

As a true professional, the woman then went on to answer the BBC presenter's question as if nothing happened.

The hilarious moment left viewers at home in hysterics as they took to social media to share their reaction.

One said: "Oh that is just brilliant."

A second wrote: "Just amazing scenes all round."

"Pus riot," said a third viewer.

However, a fourth news watcher expressed concern for the cat, tweeting: "That's not a very nice way to handle her cat!!! Just the look on her face!"

Meanwhile, BBC Breakfast viewers were left baffled after an oblivious reporter was caught on air in a live blunder.

Ben Boulos, 39 and Nina Warhurst, 42, hosted Sunday's edition of the BBC programme.

Towards the end of the show, the duo interviewed a group of farmers who had taken on an unusual challenge to raise money for mental health charities.

However, as Ben and Nina chatted to the men, the camera suddenly cut away from the interview and an unsuspecting reporter appeared on screen.

The female journalist seemed unaware that she was on live TV as she prepared for a news report and sorted through some papers.

The camera then came back to Nina and Ben, who wrapped up their interview with the farmers – also seemingly in the dark about the technical blunder.
