The BBC were forced to apologise after a football fan interrupted a BBC News broadcast and sang "f*** the Tories" live on air.
Joe Inwood, a BBC News correspondent, immediately apologised but later said the incident was a "personal career highlight!" on X.
He was doing an outside broadcast from the fan zone at the Box Park in Corydon, South London following England's 6-1 win against China in the Women's World Cup.
Inwood was walking around talking to fans about the tournament and England's victory when one fan appeared to get a little carried away with the Lionesses victory.

The fan, who was carrying a pint of lager in one hand and a walking cane in the other, then sang the offensive song.
Inwood immediately turned away, saying: "Oh no! Sorry about that! I do apologise about that. I'm sorry about that."
However, commenting on a video of the incident shared on X, he said: "It's a personal career highlight!"
It comes after another BBC broadcast was interrupted last month by a football fan in Istanbul, Turkey.

BBC Breakfast presenter John Watson was reporting on the excitement ahead of the UEFA Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan.
During his live segment outside the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Instanbul, Watson had his flow interrupted by the passerby.
The presenter quickly glanced up as a man tried to stop him speaking to ask a question, apparently not noticing the camera or microphone.
However, the awkward encounter did not go unnoticed by fans who shared their thoughts on X.

“Cringe!”, one viewer joked.
Another person added: “That was great. Live broadcasts always look tricky but you made it look easy.”
“That was cringe #BBCBreakfast,” someone else wrote.
