If you happened to catch the BBC news this morning you will have been wondering why Simon McCoy was standing there holding a load of paper. McCoy had accidentally picked up the paper instead of his iPad just before he went on air. An easy mistake to make, no? Like a true 'professional' though McCoy soldiered on.
The BBC later released a statement regarding the 'incident'. The statement said, 'This morning as Simon McCoy was preparing to introduce this story, instead of picking up his tablet to hold as he went to air, he mistakenly picked up a ream of paper that was sitting next to it.In the rush of live news, he didn't have an opportunity to swap the items, so simply went with it.' McCoy has also been known for being caught asleep on his desk when he thought he was off air. How do these people get jobs? You can check it out for yourself below...
