We've all been there when it comes to embarrassing slips of the tongue, especially when they're particularly naughty. Whether it's saying orgasm instead of organism or sex instead of success, such mistakes can be particularly mortifying depending on your audience. And then there's live TV.
BBC reporter Carol Kirkwood made such an embarrassing mistake in a live news item this morning.
The weather correspondent was singing the praises of Greenwich park during the segment.
She reported that the forecast is set to be hot and humid until the end of the week, with an increasing risk of thunder storms which could lead to flash flooding.

Kirkwood spoke of the dog walkers and joggers hanging out in the park this morning. Only she got her words a little muddled and this was the result.

She has since tweeted the following in response to the clip going viral.
